Symmetric-function generalization of the Eremenko–Gabrielov conjecture

About 24 years old · traced to

Let λ\lambda be a partition with ℓ\ell parts and fixed parity for each part. Let Gλ(x/x)G_\lambda(x/x) be the specialized symmetric function defined by substituting 2p2i−12p_{2i-1} for p2i−1p_{2i-1} and 00 for p2ip_{2i}, and let Qμ(x)Q_\mu(x) denote Schur's shifted QQ-function. Symmetric-function generalization of the Eremenko–Gabrielov conjecture. There are integers c1,…,ckc_1,\dots,c_k and integer vectors γ1,…,γk∈Zℓ\gamma_1,\dots,\gamma_k\in\mathbb{Z}^\ell such that

(−1)r(λ)Gλ(x/x)=∑i=1kciQ12(λ+γi)(x).(-1)^{r(\lambda)}G_\lambda(x/x)=\sum_{i=1}^k c_i Q_{\frac12(\lambda+\gamma_i)}(x).

This conjecture is intended as a symmetric-function refinement of the Eremenko–Gabrielov conjecture. The source presents the definition as possibly requiring modification and gives no resolution status.
