Pairwise orthogonality conjecture for multivariate Hermitian Jacobi polynomials

Let Θk\Theta_k index the multivariate Hermitian Jacobi polynomials P~τ1,,τk;ϕ(α,β)\tilde{P}^{(\alpha,\beta)}_{\tau_1,\dots,\tau_k;\phi}, defined by triangular expansion in the multivariate Schur polynomials with respect to the matrix beta distribution MBk,m(α,β)MB_{k,m}^{(\alpha,\beta)}. Let (τ1,,τk;ϕ)(\tau_1,\dots,\tau_k;\phi) and (ρ1,,ρk;ψ)(\rho_1,\dots,\rho_k;\psi) be non-equivalent indices. Pairwise orthogonality conjecture. The polynomials P~τ1,,τk;ϕ(α,β)\tilde{P}^{(\alpha,\beta)}_{\tau_1,\dots,\tau_k;\phi} and P~ρ1,,ρk;ψ(α,β)\tilde{P}^{(\alpha,\beta)}_{\rho_1,\dots,\rho_k;\psi} are pairwise orthogonal for non-equivalent indices. This extends the evident orthogonality for comparable indices to all non-equivalent indices; the source notes that orthogonality for equal degree data can depend on the choice of multivariate Schur polynomials.
