Reality conjecture for the roots of the polynomial S in Cayley conditions
Let
where , and let satisfy the relation
with . Reality conjecture for . The polynomial has only real roots.
The claim concerns the expected real-rootedness of the auxiliary polynomial arising in the algebraic formulation of Cayley conditions. The source gives theoretical evidence and proves the conclusion when , but leaves the general assertion unproved.
