Polynomial-form conjecture for the hypergeometric Laplace transform

About 13 years old · traced to

Let x,yx,y be vectors in the positive integration chamber, let ∣x∣|x| denote the product of the coordinates of xx, let pp be the measure parameter, let e(−x,y)e(-x,y) be the hypergeometric kernel, and let xλx^\lambda denote the monomial indexed by the partition or multi-index λ\lambda. The associated integral is

(∫0∞)ne(−x,y)∣x∣a−pxλ dμ(x).\left(\int_0^\infty\right)^n e(-x,y)|x|^{a-p}x^\lambda\,\mathrm{d}\mu(x).

Polynomial-form conjecture. This integral is of the form

∣y∣−a×a polynomial in y−1|y|^{-a}\times\text{a polynomial in }y^{-1}

with leading term yλy^\lambda. This is presented as a weaker form of Conjecture (C), whose full Laplace-transform identity would imply further hypergeometric integral formulas. The source does not provide a resolution of this weaker conjecture.
