The Taylor-coefficient limiting ratio conjecture for eta derivatives

Let D!,ND_{!,N} be the determinant polynomial obtained by replacing each variable xj,kx_{j,k} in DND_N by xj,k/k!x_{j,k}/k!, and define

S!,N(a)=D!,N(xj,kηj+k(a))D!,N1(xj,kηj+k+2(a)).S_{!,N}(a)=\frac{D_{!,N}\big(x_{j,k}\mapsto\eta^{\langle j+k\rangle}(a)\big)}{D_{!,N-1}\big(x_{j,k}\mapsto\eta^{\langle j+k+2\rangle}(a)\big)}.

The Taylor-coefficient limiting ratio conjecture. Except for countably many values of aa,

S!,N(a)1S_{!,N}(a)\longrightarrow 1

as NN\to\infty.

This modification uses factorially normalized, Taylor-like coefficients and is reported to converge more slowly than the first limiting ratio; it remains conjectural.
