Law of large numbers for roots of finite free multiplicative convolution

From papers

Let pdp_d be a monic polynomial of degree dd with non-negative real roots

Λd={λ1,dλd,d}.\Lambda_d=\{\lambda_{1,d}\geq\dots\geq\lambda_{d,d}\}.

Let μP+,c\mu\in\mathcal{P}_{+,c}, and suppose that the empirical root distributions of pdp_d converge weakly to μ\mu:

1di=1dδλi,dwμ\frac{1}{d}\sum_{i=1}^{d}\delta_{\lambda_{i,d}}\xrightarrow{w}\mu

as dd\to\infty. Law of large numbers for roots. Then

1di=1dδRi(Λd)wΦ(μ)\frac{1}{d}\sum_{i=1}^{d}\delta_{R_i(\Lambda_d)}\xrightarrow{w}\Phi(\mu)

as dd\to\infty.

This conjecture predicts that the limiting empirical distribution of the roots produced by finite free multiplicative convolution is determined by the limiting empirical root distribution through the map Φ\Phi, extending the examples discussed in the paper. The supplied text does not state whether the conjecture has been resolved.
