Abstract

Given arbitrary integers kk and dd with 02kd0 \leq 2k \leq d, we construct a Gorenstein Fano polytope \Pc\RRd\Pc \subset \RR^d of dimension dd such that (i) its Ehrhart polynomial i(\Pc,n)i(\Pc, n) possesses dd distinct roots; (ii) i(\Pc,n)i(\Pc, n) possesses exactly 2k2k imaginary roots; (iii) i(\Pc,n)i(\Pc, n) possesses exactly d2kd - 2k real roots; (iv) the real part of each of the imaginary roots is equal to 1/2- 1 / 2; (v) all of the real roots belong to the open interval (1,0)(-1, 0).
