Univalence conjecture for the extremal Chebyshev polynomial

About 9 years old · traced to

Let NN be a positive integer, let UmU_m denote the Chebyshev polynomial of the second kind, and let Um′U'_m denote its derivative. Define

F(z)=1UN′(cos⁡πN+2)∑j=1NUN−j+1′(cos⁡πN+2)Uj−1(cos⁡πN+2)zj.F(z)=\frac{1}{U'_N\left(\cos\frac{\pi}{N+2}\right)}\sum_{j=1}^N U'_{N-j+1}\left(\cos\frac{\pi}{N+2}\right)U_{j-1}\left(\cos\frac{\pi}{N+2}\right)z^j.

Univalence conjecture. The polynomial FF is univalent in the unit disk D\mathbb D. Numerical evidence supports the assertion for all NN, while it is established in the cases N=3N=3 and N=4N=4.
