Borcea's univalence conjecture for polynomial critical points
Borcea's univalence conjecture for polynomial critical points
Let be an th-degree polynomial with , let be its derivative, and let denote the -variance of the zeros of . A polynomial is univalent in a disk if it is one-to-one there.
Borcea's univalence conjecture. For , is not univalent in any closed disk centered at zero whose radius is larger than
This is motivated by the Alexander–Kakeya theorem, whose extremal polynomials are of the form . The source presents the proposed strengthening as a conjecture and gives no resolution.
