Genus-two Hankel-determinant sigma-function conjecture
Let be the Hankel determinants whose moments are defined by the recurrence in the source. Let be the quintic curve
which is isomorphic to the relevant sextic curve , and let be its genus-two Kleinian sigma function, with period lattice . For , where
with the unique point at infinity on and corresponding to , let and be non-zero constants. Genus-two sigma-function conjecture. The determinants are given by
A proof would follow from an analytic solution for the iterates of the associated map. The proposed formula would imply a Somos-8 relation, or a Somos-6 relation under a certain constraint on , but the source gives no proof.
