Heim–Neuhauser's Hurwitz conjecture for D'Arcais polynomials

From papers

For n1n\geq 1, let Pnσ(x)P_n^{\sigma}(x) be the D'Arcais polynomial defined by

m=1(1qm)x=n=0Pnσ(x)qn.\prod_{m=1}^{\infty}(1-q^m)^{-x}=\sum_{n=0}^{\infty}P_n^{\sigma}(x)q^n.

A polynomial is Hurwitz if the real parts of all its zeros are negative. Heim–Neuhauser's conjecture. The polynomial Pnσ(x)/xP_n^{\sigma}(x)/x is Hurwitz, and all its zeros are simple. The conjecture concerns the location and multiplicity of the zeros of D'Arcais polynomials; the supplied source gives no evidence that it has been resolved.
