Newman's conjecture for function-field L-functions

At least 12 years old · documented by

Let F\mathcal F be a family of LL-functions over a function field Fq[x]\mathbb F_q[x]. For each parameter D∈FD\in\mathcal F, let ΛD\Lambda_D denote the associated De Bruijn–Newman constant. Newman's conjecture for function fields. One has

sup⁡D∈FΛD=0.\sup_{D\in\mathcal F}\Lambda_D=0.

Unlike the number-field setting, individual function-field constants may equal −∞-\infty, so the supremum over a family is the appropriate analogue. The source presents this as a generalized conjecture of Andrade, Chang and Miller and does not state a resolution here.
