Hankel determinant bound for functions in the class U with vanishing second coefficient

From papers

Let f(z)=z+n=2anznf(z)=z+\sum_{n=2}^{\infty}a_nz^n belong to the class U\mathcal U, and suppose that a2=0a_2=0. For an integer n3n\ge3, define the second Hankel determinant by

H2(n)(f)=anan+2an+12.H_2(n)(f)=a_na_{n+2}-a_{n+1}^2.

Hankel determinant conjecture. For every integer n3n\ge3,

H2(n)(f)=anan+2an+121.|H_2(n)(f)|=|a_na_{n+2}-a_{n+1}^2|\le1.

The estimate is sharp for f(z)=z1z2=n=1z2n1f(z)=\frac{z}{1-z^2}=\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}z^{2n-1}. The result extends the sharp bounds established in the paper for the cases n=2n=2 and n=4n=4 to all higher second Hankel determinants for functions in U\mathcal U with missing second coefficient; the general case remains open.
