Arc-zero conjecture for Δk,4\Delta_{k,4}, Δk,6\Delta_{k,6}, and Δk,8\Delta_{k,8}

About 10 years old · traced to

For integers k≥14k\geq14, consider the cusp forms Δk,4\Delta_{k,4}, Δk,6\Delta_{k,6}, and Δk,8\Delta_{k,8} defined by

Δk,ℓ=EkEℓ−Ek+ℓ,\Delta_{k,\ell}=E_kE_\ell-E_{k+\ell},

where EjE_j is the weight-jj Eisenstein series. The arc in the standard fundamental domain is the portion of the unit circle given by ∣z∣=1|z|=1.

Arc-zero conjecture. For k≥14k\geq14, all of the zeros of Δk,4\Delta_{k,4}, Δk,6\Delta_{k,6}, and Δk,8\Delta_{k,8} in the fundamental domain lie on the arc ∣z∣=1|z|=1.

This is a more specific prediction about the distribution of zeros in three low-ℓ\ell cases. The supplied context does not state whether it has been proved or disproved.
