Let be the -th additive phase constant in the asymptotic phase equation for the zeros of Jacobi polynomials, with and . If denotes the least positive integer clearing the denominators of all coefficients of , prove that, for every integer , , where . Equivalently, , while . The established odd-part bound is that the odd part of divides ; the sharp conjecture concerns the exact dyadic exponent.

Progress summary
A new paper makes substantial progress toward the denominator formula, but the proof of the sharp final law is not available in the retrieved record.
The problem asserts an all-orders rule for the powers of appearing in denominators of phase constants associated with Jacobi-polynomial zeros. The retrieved material identifies neither the proposer nor the original date.
August 2026 structural reduction
The paper proves divisibility and -adic integrality bounds and reformulates the sharp law coefficientwise, supplying the structural reduction behind the claimed all-orders formula. The companion proof mentioned by the source was not retrieved, so this remains an unverified advance rather than a complete solution.
Current status (as of August 2026): Divisibility, -adic bounds, and a coefficientwise reduction are claimed, while the sharp all-orders denominator law and its companion proof remain unverified.
