Lunar-domain conjecture for zeros of the Alexander polynomials of K[n]K[n]

Let

α=352\alpha=\frac{3-\sqrt{5}}{2}

be a real zero of ΔK[1](t)=t23t+1\Delta_{K[1]}(t)=t^2-3t+1, and let CC be the circle with centre (α12,0)(\frac{\alpha-1}{2},0) and radius α+12\frac{\alpha+1}{2}. Lunar-domain conjecture. For every n1n\geq1, all zeros of ΔK[n](t)\Delta_{K[n]}(t) with modulus less than 11 lie in the narrow lunar domain bounded by the unit circle and CC. The conjecture describes the location of the non-unit zeros after the source establishes that ΔK[n](t)\Delta_{K[n]}(t) has no unit-complex zeros.
