The Fourier-transform conjecture for real transcendental entire functions in the Laguerre–Pólya class

About 12 years old · traced to

Let H(t)=∑k=0∞γkxk/k!H(t)=\sum_{k=0}^\infty \gamma_k x^k/k! be a real transcendental entire function, with H′∈L\raise.5exPH'\in\mathscr{L{\kern.2ex\text{\raise.5ex\text{{\rule{.35em}{.12ex}}}}\kern.2ex}P}, and suppose that H(it)→−∞H(it)\to -\infty as t→±∞t\to\pm\infty. Define

F(z)=∫−∞∞eH(it)eizt dt.F(z)=\int_{-\infty}^\infty e^{H(it)}e^{izt}\,dt.

Fourier-transform conjecture. The function FF belongs to the Laguerre–Pólya class:

F∈L\raise.5exP.F\in\mathscr{L{\kern.2ex\text{\raise.5ex\text{{\rule{.35em}{.12ex}}}}\kern.2ex}P}.

This conjecture proposes that the stated decay and Laguerre–Pólya condition on H′H' force the Fourier transform of eH(it)e^{H(it)} to remain in the Laguerre–Pólya class. The source presents it as a direction for further investigation; no resolution is supplied there.
