Spectral formula conjecture for the matrix associated with a partition

Let ν\nu be a partition of NN such that the associated polynomial P[ν]P^{[\nu]} has only simple roots, and let J[ν]J^{[\nu]} be the N×NN\times N matrix defined by the paper. Let ρ[ν]=(ρ1[ν],,ρN[ν])\rho^{[\nu]}=(\rho^{[\nu]}_1,\dots,\rho^{[\nu]}_N) be the rational sequence associated with ν\nu.

Spectral formula conjecture. The eigenvalues of J[ν]J^{[\nu]} are

λk=2(ρk[ν])2,k=1,,N,\lambda_k=2\bigl(\rho^{[\nu]}_k\bigr)^2,\qquad k=1,\dots,N,

not necessarily distinct. Consequently,

det(J[ν])=2Nk=1N(ρk[ν])2,\det\bigl(J^{[\nu]}\bigr)=2^N\prod_{k=1}^N\bigl(\rho^{[\nu]}_k\bigr)^2,

which is a strictly positive integer.

The formula was verified numerically for all non-degenerate partitions with N10N\leq 10. For the partition ν=(N)\nu=(N), it specializes to the Hermite case, with eigenvalues 2,24,,2N22,2\cdot4,\dots,2N^2.
