Non-Parry powers conjecture for roots of xdx1x^d-x-1

For each integer d4d\geq4, let 4βd44\beta_d4 be the Perron root of

xdx1=0.x^d-x-1=0.

A Parry number is a real number greater than 11 whose greedy expansion of 11 is eventually periodic; a non-Parry number is a number that is not Parry.

Non-Parry powers conjecture. For every d4d\geq4 and every integer k1k\geq1, the power 4βdk44\beta_d^k4 is non-Parry.

The conjecture is supported by computations, and the source remarks that it has been verified up to d=100d=100. A proof is not given.
