The positivity conjecture for semi-simple TERP-structures

Let (w,u1,,un,ξ,T)(w,u_1,\ldots,u_n,\xi,T) be data with w\mathdsZw\in{\mathds Z}, ui\mathdsCu_i\in{\mathds C} pairwise distinct, ξS1\xi\in S^1 satisfying ((uiuj)/ξ)<0\Re((u_i-u_j)/\xi)<0 for i<ji<j, and TM(n×n,\mathdsR)T\in M(n\times n,{\mathds R}) upper triangular with Tii=1T_{ii}=1. These data determine a unique semi-simple mixed TERP-structure of weight ww. Positivity conjecture. If T+TtrT+T^{tr} is positive definite, then the corresponding TERP-structure is pure and polarized. This proposes a partial criterion for purity and polarization in the semi-simple case; the source presents it as open.
