Equivalent half-plane formulation of Borcea's conjecture

From papers

Let

F(w)=k=1akwkwwk,F(w)=\sum_{k=1}^{\infty}\frac{a_k w_k}{w-w_k},

where wkCw_k\in\mathbb C, Rewk>12\operatorname{Re}w_k>\frac12, wkw_k\to\infty, ak>0a_k>0, and

k=1ak<.\sum_{k=1}^{\infty}a_k<\infty.

Equivalent half-plane formulation. The function FF has infinitely many zeros in Rew>12\operatorname{Re}w>\frac12.

The source derives this statement from the disk conjecture by the change of variables w=(1z)1w=(1-z)^{-1}, wk=(1zk)1w_k=(1-z_k)^{-1}, and f(z)=wF(w)f(z)=wF(w). It is therefore a restatement of Borcea's conjecture rather than a separate claim.
