The Riesz-kernel conjecture for complete hyperbolic polynomials

Let pR[x1,,xn]p\in \mathbb{R}[x_1,\dots,x_n] be a complete hyperbolic polynomial with hyperbolicity cone CC. For a real α>n\alpha>n, let qαq_{\alpha} be the function defined by

qα(y)=(2π)nRnp(e+ix)αey,e+ixdx,q_{\alpha}(y)=(2\pi)^{-n}\int_{\mathbb{R}^n}p(e+i\cdot x)^{-\alpha}e^{\langle y,e+i\cdot x\rangle}\,dx,

where eCe\in C, and let CC^* denote the dual cone. The Riesz-kernel conjecture. There exists a real α>n\alpha>n such that qα(y)q_{\alpha}(y) is nonnegative on CC^*. In particular, qαq_{\alpha} is a Riesz kernel. The conjecture is known for hyperbolic polynomials admitting a symmetric determinantal representation, and the paper proves it for all elementary symmetric polynomials; the general case remains open.
