Star-minimization conjecture for the least AαA_\alpha-eigenvalue

Let GG be a connected graph on nn vertices with 12<α<1\frac{1}{2}<\alpha<1. Star-minimization conjecture.

λn(Aα(G))λn(Aα(K1,n1)),\lambda_n(A_{\alpha}(G))\geq\lambda_n(A_{\alpha}(K_{1,n-1})),

with equality if and only if GK1,n1G\cong K_{1,n-1}. This conjecture asks whether the star minimizes the least eigenvalue of AαA_\alpha among connected graphs of order nn in the specified range of α\alpha; no resolution is stated in the supplied text.
