Limit periodicity conjecture for Jacobi matrices from expanding polynomials

Let T(z)T(z)) be an expanding polynomial of degree dd with a real Julia set EE, where E[ξ,ξ]E\subset[-\xi,\xi] and T1:[ξ,ξ][ξ,ξ]T^{-1}:[-\xi,\xi]\to[-\xi,\xi]. For x[ξ,ξ]x\in[-\xi,\xi], define the Jacobi matrix J=J(x)J=J(x) by

0(zJ(x))10=T(z)/dT(z)x.\left\langle 0\left|(z-J(x))^{-1}\right|0\right\rangle=\frac{T'(z)/d}{T(z)-x}.

Let Jn(x)J_n(x) be the Jacobi matrix associated with the iterate Tn=TnT_n=T^{\circ n}, whose degree is dnd_n. Limit periodicity conjecture. For every ϵ>0\epsilon>0, there exists nn such that

Jn(x)Jn(0)ϵ.\left\|J_n(x)-J_n(0)\right\|\leq\epsilon.

This conjecture concerns the asymptotic independence of the Jacobi matrices from the parameter xx under iteration of an expanding polynomial with real Julia set. The surrounding discussion notes that the analogous limit-periodicity problem is open even for quadratic polynomials with C>2C>2, so the resolution status of this formulation is not established in the supplied text.
