Eventual hyperbolicity conjecture for Jensen polynomials of k-regular partitions

For an integer k2k\geq2, let pk(n)p_k(n) count the partitions of nn having no parts divisible by kk, so that

n0pk(n)qn=n=11qkn1qn.\sum_{n\geq0}p_k(n)q^n=\prod_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{1-q^{kn}}{1-q^n}.

For integers d1d\geq1 and n0n\geq0, let Jpkd,n(X)J_{p_k}^{d,n}(X) be the degree-dd Jensen polynomial associated with the sequence pk(n)p_k(n).

k-regular Jensen polynomial conjecture. Let d1d\geq1 and k2k\geq2 be integers. There exists a positive integer N(d)N(d) such that Jpkd,n(X)J_{p_k}^{d,n}(X) is hyperbolic for all nN(d)n\geq N(d).

Here hyperbolic means that all roots are real. The paper states this as an equivalent reformulation of the higher-order Turán claim and then proves the stronger result for kk-regular partition functions.
