Goh–Wildberger factorization conjecture for zpread polynomials
Goh–Wildberger factorization conjecture for zpread polynomials
Let denote the th zpread polynomial. For each integer , let have degree , where is Euler's totient function, and let denote the Möbius function.
Goh–Wildberger conjecture. There are polynomials , , such that, for every ,
For , , where is irreducible and has constant term satisfying
Moreover, if is prime, then
This conjecture reformulates a conjecture of Goh and Wildberger about factorizations of spread polynomials in terms of zpread polynomials, while also making explicit arithmetic patterns in the factors' coefficients. The cited OEIS entry records the proposed constant-term sequence; the supplied text gives no evidence resolving the conjecture.
