Abstract

Based on Casas-Alvero conjecture \textit{[J. Algebra, 2001]} we formulate the following conjecture.\\ \textbf{C*-algebraic Casas-Alvero Conjecture : Let A\mathcal{A} be a commutative C*-algebra, nNn\in \mathbb{N} and let P(z)=(za1)(za2)(zan)P(z) = (z-a_1)(z-a_2)\cdots (z-a_n) be a polynomial over A\mathcal{A} with a1,a2,,anAa_1, a_2, \dots, a_n \in \mathcal{A}. If PP shares a common zero with each of its (first) n1n-1 derivatives, then it is nthn^\text{th} power of a linear monic C*-algebraic polynomial.}\\ We show that C*-algebraic Casas-Alvero Conjecture holds for C*-algebraic polynomials of degree 2.
