Spectral-gap conjecture for the Berezin transform at fixed weight deficit

Let jj be a positive parameter, let dNd\in\mathbb{N}, and set m=jdm=j-d. Denote the eigenvalues of the Berezin transform Bj,jd\mathcal{B}_{j,j-d} by λ(0),λ(1),,λ(2j)\lambda^{(0)},\lambda^{(1)},\ldots,\lambda^{(2j)}. Spectral-gap conjecture. For every dNd\in\mathbb{N} there exists j0j_0 such that for all jj0j\geq j_0, the eigenvalues satisfy

λ(1)>λ(2),λ(3),,λ(2j),\lambda^{(1)}>\lambda^{(2)},\lambda^{(3)},\ldots,\lambda^{(2j)},

and hence the spectral gap is

γ(Bj,jd)=1λ(1)=1(jd)2j(j+1)=2d+1j(d+1)2j(j+1).\gamma(\mathcal{B}_{j,j-d})=1-\lambda^{(1)}=1-\frac{(j-d)^2}{j(j+1)}=\frac{2d+1}{j}-\frac{(d+1)^2}{j(j+1)}.

The conjecture predicts the eventual dominance of the first nontrivial eigenvalue and gives an explicit formula for the spectral gap when the weight deficit dd is fixed. Its status is not resolved in the supplied source.
