Log-concavity conjecture for marginals of the sine process

Consider a determinantal point process on the real line with correlation kernel

K(x,y)=sin(π(yx))yx.K(x,y)=\frac{\sin(\pi(y-x))}{y-x}.

Label its points by <Z1<Z0<Z1<Z2<\cdots<Z_{-1}<Z_0<Z_1<Z_2<\cdots so that Z1<0Z0Z_{-1}<0\leq Z_0. The sine-process marginal conjecture. For every sub-collection (Zi1,,Zik)(Z_{i_1},\ldots,Z_{i_k}), its marginal density on Rk\mathbb{R}^k is log-concave. The conjecture is motivated by the log-concavity of marginals for uniform Gelfand–Tsetlin functions and the identification of bead-process marginals with the sine process; the source presents it as unresolved.
