Integral and classified real-root conjecture for peak polynomials
Integral and classified real-root conjecture for peak polynomials
Let be an admissible peak set, and let be its peak polynomial. The roots of are the complex numbers satisfying .
Integral and classified real-root conjecture. If all roots of are real, then all of them are integral. Moreover, has only real roots if and only if

The conjecture gives both an integrality prediction for real roots and a complete proposed classification of admissible peak sets whose peak polynomials are real-rooted. The paper says that the listed families have been shown to have only integral roots, while the converse direction remains unproved.
