Unit-circle zero conjecture for Gaussian β-ensemble moment coefficients

Let the coefficients of the moments m2lm_{2l} be regarded as polynomials in the ensemble parameter κ\kappa, after extracting their stated powers of NN and κ\kappa. The coefficients have a palindromic or anti-palindromic numerator with respect to NN. Unit-circle zero conjecture. In addition to this palindromic or anti-palindromic property, the numerator of each coefficient with respect to NN has simple zeros, all satisfying

κ=1,|\kappa|=1,

so that the zeros occur in complex-conjugate pairs. This observation is supported by all cases accessible in the paper, but no general proof is given.
