Conjecture for the genus-zero free energy coefficient of multi-cut Toeplitz determinants

From papers

The large-nn expansion of the Toeplitz determinant is organized by the remainder mm of dividing nn by 2r+12r+1, and let F{0}F^{\{0\}} denote the corresponding O(1)O(1) coefficient as a function of the filling-fraction parameter ϵ\epsilon. For m=jm=j and m=2r1jm=2r-1-j, with 1jr1\leq j\leq r, the coefficient is the same; write it as F{0}(j)F^{\{0\}}(j). Conjecture for F{0}F^{\{0\}}. For m=0m=0,

F{0}=2r+14ln(cos(πϵ2))+C0,F^{\{0\}}=-\frac{2r+1}{4}\ln\left(\cos\left(\frac{\pi\epsilon}{2}\right)\right)+C_{0},

where C0C_{0} is constant. For 1jr1\leq j\leq r,

F{0}(j)=Ajln(cos(πϵ2))+Bjln(tan(πϵ2))+Cj,F^{\{0\}}(j)=A_{j}\ln\left(\cos\left(\frac{\pi\epsilon}{2}\right)\right)+B_{j}\ln\left(\tan\left(\frac{\pi\epsilon}{2}\right)\right)+C_j,

where (Aj,Bj,Cj)(A_j,B_j,C_j) are non-zero constants depending on the remainder. The constants (Cj)1jr(C_j)_{1\leq j\leq r} and C0C_0 are the same, and the constants (Aj,Bj,Cj)1jr(A_j,B_j,C_j)_{1\leq j\leq r} and C0C_0 may be rational numbers. These conjectural formulas extend the one-cut case r=0r=0 and concern the difficult computation of derivatives with respect to arbitrary filling fractions; proving them remains open because the required spectral curve is not known explicitly in that generality.
