Polynomial Roots and Calabi-Yau Geometries

Abstract

The examination of roots of constrained polynomials dates back at least to Waring and to Littlewood. However, such delicate structures as fractals and holes have only recently been found. We study the space of roots to certain integer polynomials arising naturally in the context of Calabi-Yau spaces, notably Poincaré and Newton polynomials, and observe various salient features and geometrical patterns.
