Littlewood-admissibility conjecture for pairs with two interior zeros

About 7 years old · traced to

Let n≥1n\geq 1, and let (k,n)(k,n) be a valid pair for Littlewood polynomials. A pair is Littlewood-admissible if some Littlewood polynomial of degree nn has exactly kk zeros in the open unit disk and no zeros on the unit circle. Littlewood-admissibility conjecture. The pairs (2,n)(2,n) and (n−2,n)(n-2,n) with n≡1(mod6)n\equiv 1\pmod 6 and n≥13n\geq 13 are the only non-trivial Littlewood-inadmissible pairs. Computations establish this classification for n≤31n\leq31, while the assertion for all larger degrees remains open.
