Strohmer's conjecture on Gaussian Gabor frame-condition asymptotics

Let κ3(α)\kappa_3(\alpha) and κ4(α)\kappa_4(\alpha) denote the frame conditions of the Gaussian Gabor systems with hexagonal lattice Λ2(α)=α1/2HZ2\Lambda_2(\alpha)=\alpha^{-1/2}H\mathbb{Z}^2 and von Neumann lattice Λ1×1(α)=α1/2Z2\Lambda_{1\times1}(\alpha)=\alpha^{-1/2}\mathbb{Z}^2, respectively, both of density α\alpha. Let

Cr=2πrtan(πr)Γ(2r)2Γ(1r)4,r=3,4.C_r=\frac{2\pi r}{\tan(\frac{\pi}{r})}\frac{\Gamma(\frac{2}{r})^2}{\Gamma(\frac{1}{r})^4},\qquad r=3,4.

Strohmer's conjecture. As the critical density is approached from above, α1+\alpha\to1^+,

κ3(α)C311α0andκ4(α)C411α0.\kappa_3(\alpha)-\frac{C_3}{1-\frac{1}{\alpha}}\to0 \qquad\text{and}\qquad \kappa_4(\alpha)-\frac{C_4}{1-\frac{1}{\alpha}}\to0.

These asymptotics were proved for the hexagonal and rectangular cases in the cited work; the conjectural part is the proposed exact constants. The source gives no resolution of the conjectural constants.
