Koiran's real $\tau$-conjecture claims that the number of real zeros of a structured polynomial given as a sum of $m$ products of $k$ real sparse polynomials, each with at most $t$ monomials, is bounded by a polynomial in $m,k,t$. This…

We present a Suffridge-like extension of the Grace-Szeg\"o convolution theorem for polynomials and entire functions with only real zeros. Our results can also be seen as a $q$-extension of P\'olya's and Schur's characterization of…

We study polynomials p(x) satisfying a differential equation of the form p"(x)-h'(x)p'(x)+H(x)p(x)=0, where h(x)=x^3/3+ax. We prove a conjecture of A. Eremenko and A. Gabrielov.

We determine the probability that a random polynomial of degree $n$ over $\mathbb{Z}_p$ has exactly $r$ roots in $\mathbb{Q}_p$, and show that it is given by a rational function of $p$ that is invariant under replacing $p$ by $1/p$.
