Sum rules for the three singlets in the cyclic model

For odd N=2n+1N=2n+1, consider the cyclic spin-chain Hamiltonian with parameters λ,ζ\lambda,\zeta and its three translation-invariant zero-energy singlets ΨNa\Psi_N^a, indexed by a=0,±a=0,\pm, with components ψμa\psi_\mu^a in spin configurations μ\mu. Let ν1(μ)\nu_1(\mu) be the number of spins equal to 11 in μ\mu. The cyclic singlet sum-rule conjecture. With the stated normalisation, the square norm of each singlet factorises into two polynomials in ζ,λ\zeta,\lambda with positive integer coefficients. Along λ=ζ\lambda=\zeta,

ΨNa(ζ)2=32n(μζν1(μ)ψμa)(μζν1(μ)ψμa),a=0,±.\lVert\Psi_N^a(\zeta)\rVert^2=3^{-2n}\left(\sum_\mu\zeta^{\nu_1(\mu)}\psi_\mu^a\right)\left(\sum_\mu\zeta^{-\nu_1(\mu)}\psi_\mu^a\right),\qquad a=0,\pm.

For ΨN0\Psi_N^0, along the same line,

μζν1(μ)ψμ0=32nζ2n+1ψ1110.\sum_\mu\zeta^{\nu_1(\mu)}\psi_\mu^0=3^{2n}\zeta^{2n+1}\psi_{11\dots1}^0.

The source presents these as open questions supported by exact diagonalisation through N=7N=7.
