Integrality conjecture for complex Wishart cumulant moments

About 8 years old · traced to

Let W=(NQ)−1W=(NQ)^{-1} be the Wishart matrix described above, and define c0(μ1,…,μℓ)c_0(\mu_1,\dots,\mu_\ell) by

lim⁡N→∞(βN2)ℓ−1Cℓ(tr⁡W−μ1,…,tr⁡W−μℓ)=c0(μ1,…,μℓ).\lim_{N\to\infty}(\beta N^2)^{\ell-1}C_\ell\left(\operatorname{tr} W^{-\mu_1},\dots,\operatorname{tr} W^{-\mu_\ell}\right)=c_0(\mu_1,\dots,\mu_\ell).

Here ℓ≥1\ell\geq 1, (μ1,…,μℓ)∈Nℓ(\mu_1,\dots,\mu_\ell)\in\mathbb{N}^{\ell}, and CℓC_\ell denotes the joint cumulant while tr⁡=N−1Tr⁡\operatorname{tr}=N^{-1}\operatorname{Tr} is the normalized trace. Integrality conjecture. For all ℓ≥1\ell\geq1 and (μ1,…,μℓ)∈Nℓ(\mu_1,\dots,\mu_\ell)\in\mathbb{N}^{\ell},

c0(μ1,…,μℓ)∈N.c_0(\mu_1,\dots,\mu_\ell)\in\mathbb{N}.

This conjecture arises from extensive computations of the leading large-NN cumulants of inverse Wishart moments and predicts that these limiting quantities are always positive integers. The source does not state a resolution, so the conjecture remains open.
