Conjecture on simultaneous nonvanishing of real and imaginary amplitudes

Let xx and tt be integers satisfying

t1,t+2<x<t,x+t2.t \ge 1, \qquad -t+2 < x < t, \qquad x+t \mathrel{\vdots} 2.

Let a(x,t)a(x,t) be the complex amplitude under consideration. Simultaneous nonvanishing conjecture. Then

Rea(x,t)0andIma(x,t)0\operatorname{Re} a(x,t) \neq 0 \quad\text{and}\quad \operatorname{Im} a(x,t) \neq 0

unless (x,t){(3,11),(5,11)}(x,t)\in\{(-3,11),(5,11)\} or x{0,2}x\in\{0,2\}. The conjecture concerns the exceptional zeros of the real and imaginary parts of the Feynman checker amplitude and remains open in the source.
