Veselov's conjecture on simple zeros of Wronskians of Hermite polynomials

At least 5 years old · documented by

Let n1,n2,…,nrn_1,n_2,\ldots,n_r be positive integers, and let Hni(x)H_{n_i}(x) denote the Hermite polynomials. Their Wronskian is

Wr⁡[Hn1(x),Hn2(x),…,Hnr(x)].\operatorname{Wr}[H_{n_1}(x),H_{n_2}(x),\ldots,H_{n_r}(x)].

Veselov's conjecture. This Wronskian has simple zeros, except possibly at x=0x=0.

The conjecture concerns the multiplicities of zeros of Wronskians of Hermite polynomials and is connected to the irreducibility of the associated remainder polynomials. It is known in a few cases, but remains open in general.
