Type B real-rootedness conjecture for the polynomials BnB_n

From papers

Let BnB_n be the type B polynomials defined in the paper, for n1n\geq 1. A polynomial is real-rooted if all of its roots are real. Type B real-rootedness conjecture. For all n1n\geq 1, the polynomials BnB_n are real-rooted. The preceding corollary establishes that the polynomials BnB_n are γ\gamma-positive, and real-rootedness would further imply γ\gamma-positivity and ultra log-concavity for palindromic polynomials with nonnegative coefficients; the source gives no resolution status for this type B analogue.
