Conjecture on cyclic resultants of generic monic polynomials

Let KK be the coefficient field, and let f(x)K[x]f(x)\in K[x] be a generic monic polynomial of degree dd. Its cyclic resultants are the associated sequence of resultants. Generic cyclic-resultant conjecture. A generic monic polynomial f(x)K[x]f(x)\in K[x] of degree dd is determined by its first d+1d+1 cyclic resultants. This conjecture is a proposed sharp bound for reconstructing a generic polynomial from cyclic-resultant data. The surrounding discussion gives larger bounds in the paper and identifies progress only for special reciprocal polynomials; no resolution of this conjecture is supplied.
