Sokal's distinct-moduli conjecture for the disturbed exponential function

Let

F(z;q)=n=0qn(n1)2znn!,\mathcal F(z;q)=\sum_{n=0}^\infty \frac{q^{\frac{n(n-1)}2}z^n}{n!},

where qq is a complex number satisfying 0<q10<|q|\leq 1. Sokal's stronger conjecture. The function F(z;q)\mathcal F(z;q) can have only simple zeros with distinct absolute values. This strengthens the simplicity conjecture. The assertion is proved in some special cases, including purely imaginary qq, but remains open for general complex qq.
