Sendov's conjecture for sufficiently high degree polynomials
Abstract
Sendov's conjecture asserts that if a complex polynomial of degree has all of its zeroes in closed unit disk , then for each such zero there is a zero of the derivative in the closed unit disk . This conjecture is known for , but only partial results are available for higher . We show that there exists a constant such that Sendov's conjecture holds for . For away from the origin and the unit circle we can appeal to the prior work of D\'egot and Chalebgwa; for near the unit circle we refine a previous argument of Miller (and also invoke results of Chijiwa when is extremely close to the unit circle); and for near the origin we introduce a new argument using compactness methods, balayage, and the argument principle.
