Root-location conjecture for an extremizer in dimension 28

About 9 years old · traced to

Let A+(28)\mathcal{A}_+(28) denote the class of radial Schwartz functions on R28\mathbb{R}^{28} satisfying the positive Fourier-eigenfunction uncertainty conditions. Dimension-28 root-location conjecture. There exists a nonzero radial Schwartz function g∈A+(28)g\in\mathcal{A}_+(28) such that g^=g\widehat g=g, g(0)=0g(0)=0, and r(g)=A+(28)r(g)=\mathrm{A}_+(28), whose nonzero roots have radii

2j+o(1)\sqrt{2j+o(1)}

as j→∞j\to\infty, beginning with j=2j=2. Numerical root locations strongly suggest this structure, but existence of such an extremizer and the asserted root asymptotics are not proved.
