Baernstein's norm-ratio conjecture for polynomials with unimodular roots

About 8 years old · traced to

Let Q(z)=1+znQ(z)=1+z^n, where nn is a positive integer, and let ∥⋅∥s\|\cdot\|_s denote the corresponding quasi-norm on the unit circle. Baernstein's conjecture. For every 0≤s≤t≤∞0\leq s\leq t\leq\infty and every non-constant polynomial pp whose roots all lie on the unit circle,

∥p∥s∥Q∥s≤∥p∥t∥Q∥t.\frac{\|p\|_s}{\|Q\|_s}\leq\frac{\|p\|_t}{\|Q\|_t}.

The paper attributes this conjecture to A. Baernstein II and explains that it would imply the entropy conjecture. Its general status is not resolved in the source.
