Chourasiya–Jamal–Maji–Sarkar conjecture on zeros of Ramanujan-type polynomials

About 3 years old · traced to

Let k∈Nk\in\mathbb{N} and let pp be a prime number. Define the Ramanujan-type polynomial

R2k+1,p(z):=∑j=1k(p2j−1)(p2k+2−2j−1)B2jB2k+2−2j(2j)!(2k+2−2j)!(pz)2k+2−2j.R_{2k+1,p}(z):=\sum_{j=1}^k(p^{2j}-1)(p^{2k+2-2j}-1)\frac{B_{2j}B_{2k+2-2j}}{(2j)!(2k+2-2j)!}(pz)^{2k+2-2j}.

Conjecture on the zeros of R2k+1,pR_{2k+1,p}. The only real root of R2k+1,p(z)R_{2k+1,p}(z) is z=0z=0, with multiplicity 22; moreover, its non-real roots are simple and lie on the circle ∣z∣=1/p|z|=1/p. This conjecture concerns the zero distribution of a Ramanujan-type polynomial arising from a Grosswald-type formula for a Dirichlet LL-function. It extends the known unit-circle result for the non-real roots of the classical Ramanujan polynomials, but the supplied text gives no resolution of the conjecture.
