Forest conjecture for supports of asymptotic derivative measures

At least 4 years old · documented by

Let PP be a polynomial and let \x03bc\x03b1,P\x03bc_{\x03b1,P} be the asymptotic root-counting measure from Theorem~. Forest conjecture. For 0<\x03b1<deg⁡P0<\x03b1<\deg P, the support of \x03bc\x03b1,P\x03bc_{\x03b1,P} is an embedded graph in \x1d53d\x1d53d without cycles; equivalently, it is a forest. This is motivated by numerical experiments, including the cubic case, but the source supplies no proof or resolution.
