Zeros of Hook Polynomials and Related Questions

We study the zero set of polynomials built from partition statistics, complementing earlier work in this direction by Boyer, Goh, Parry, and others. In particular, addressing a question posed by Males, two of the authors prove asymptotics for the values of -hook polynomials away from an annulus and...

description We study the zero set of polynomials built from partition statistics, complementing earlier work in this direction by Boyer, Goh, Parry, and others. In particular, addressing a question posed by Males, two of the authors prove asymptotics for the values of -hook polynomials away from an annulus and at isolated zeros of a theta function. We also discuss some open problems and present data on other polynomial families, including those associated with deformations of Rogers-Ramanujan functions.
