Conjecture of simple zeros for generalized Jacobi polynomials

From papers

Let λ\lambda and μ\mu be partitions, and let m1m_1 denote the relevant parameter associated with the partitions. Take parameters α>1\alpha>-1 and β>m1\beta>m_1 satisfying the conditions required for the generalized Jacobi polynomial. If λ\lambda is an even partition, then the generalized Jacobi polynomial Ωλ,μ(α,β)\Omega^{(\alpha,\beta)}_{\lambda,\mu} has only simple zeros.

Simple-zero conjecture. For any partitions λ\lambda and μ\mu, take α>1\alpha>-1 and β>m1\beta>m_1 such that the stated conditions are satisfied. If λ\lambda is an even partition, then the zeros of Ωλ,μ(α,β)\Omega^{(\alpha,\beta)}_{\lambda,\mu} are simple.

This conjecture proposes that the simple-zero assumption used in the theorem on exceptional zeros is not a restriction for the relevant generalized Jacobi polynomials. The surrounding discussion notes that nonsimple zeros found computationally occur when the corresponding exceptional Jacobi polynomials do not form a complete set; the conjecture itself is presented without a resolution.
