Spectral instability conjecture for stationary states on the tadpole graph

Let (un,ω±,0)(u_{n,\omega}^{\pm},0) be the stationary standing-wave branch indexed by nNn\in\mathbb{N}, and let the spectral stability problem be the linearized eigenvalue problem for the nonlinear Schrödinger equation on the tadpole graph. Write the frequency as

ω=ϵ2,\omega=-\epsilon^2,

where ϵ>0\epsilon>0 is sufficiently small. Spectral instability conjecture. For every nNn\in\mathbb{N}, the branch (u,v)=(un,ω±,0)(u,v)=(u_{n,\omega}^{\pm},0) is spectrally unstable, with at least nn quartets of complex eigenvalues λ\lambda in the spectral stability problem. The preceding eigenvalue count is inconclusive for these stationary states, so the conjecture concerns their instability for small negative ω\omega; the supplied text gives no resolution.
