Conjecture on the zeros of the half-integral weight Eisenstein series on Γ0(4)\Gamma_0(4)

About 8 years old · traced to

Let E∞(z)E_\infty(z) be the Eisenstein series associated to the cusp ∞\infty for the group Γ0(4)\Gamma_0(4), and let F∞F_\infty be its fundamental domain, partitioned into the regions NN, BB, and PP. The weight is kk, with kk in the setting of the half-integral weight Eisenstein series considered here.

Zero-location conjecture. All but one of the zeroes of E∞(z)E_\infty(z) in F∞F_\infty lie on the circle

∣z−14∣=14,|z-\tfrac{1}{4}|=\tfrac{1}{4},

which is contained in the regions NN and BB. The remaining zero lies in PP on the line x=0x=0.

This conjecture predicts that the zeros lie on the boundaries or distinguished geometric loci of the relevant fundamental-domain regions, extending the observed boundary-location phenomenon for Eisenstein-series zeros. The supplied text gives no resolution, so its status is open.
