Eventual real-rootedness conjecture for GKP polynomial sequences

From papers

Let u,vu,v be parameters, let PP be the polynomial associated with the sequence, and let qnu,vq_n^{u,v} be the corresponding polynomial sequence. Assume

v+u<0|v|+u<0

and

P(±(u+v2l))0for lN.P\bigl(\pm(u+v-2l)\bigr)\ne 0\quad\text{for }l\in\mathbb{N}.

Eventual real-rootedness conjecture. For all sufficiently large nn, every zero of qnu,vq_n^{u,v} is real.

The conjecture predicts eventual real-rootedness even when PP has non-real zeros. A preceding example shows that without the relevant assumption, the associated polynomials can have non-real zeros for every nn; the source gives no resolution of this conjecture.
