A symmetry property of some harmonic algebraic curves

General Mathematics 2008-12-18 v1

Abstract

The aim of this note is to give a surprising symmetry property of some harmonic algebraic curves: when all the roots ziz_i of a complex polynomial PP lie on the unit circle \U\U, the points of \U\U different from the ziz_i, and such that \Arg(P(z))=θ\Arg(P(z))=\theta, form a regular nn-gon, where nn is the degree of PP.
