A new hyperbolicity wedge and a joint semicircle limit for Jensen polynomials of Riemann's $\xi$-function

Let \[ \xi\!\left(\frac12+z\right) =\sum_{n\geq 0}\frac{\gamma(n)}{n!}z^{2n}, \qquad J^{d,n}(X) =\sum_{j=0}^{d}\binom dj\gamma(n+j)X^j . \] The Riemann hypothesis is equivalent to the hyperbolicity of $J^{d,n}$ for every $d,n\geq0$. We prove that there is an absolute constant $K>0$ such that \[ n^3\log^2(n+2)\geq Kd^5 \quad\Longrightarrow\quad J^{d,n}\ \text{is hyperbolic}. \] Along every sequence with $n,d\to\infty$ in this region, the empirical measure of the naturally centered and scaled zeros also converges to Wigner's semicircle law. This gives a simultaneous degree--derivative version of the global semicircle consequence of the fixed-degree Hermite limit of Griffin, Ono, Rolen, and Zagier.
