The Hermite Wigner zero-set rigidity conjecture
Let be the Wigner distribution of some function , with bounded nodal set , and suppose that is centered at . For a Hermite function , write for the nodal set of its Wigner distribution. Hermite Wigner zero-set rigidity conjecture. If
then, and only then, everywhere. This conjecture extends the verified cases for the first, second, and third Hermite functions to all Hermite functions; the paper states that it is proved conditional on a conjecture concerning divisibility of Laguerre polynomials.
