Abstract
The zeros of the nth D’Arcais polynomial, also known in combinatorics as the Nekrasov–Okounkov polynomial, dictate the vanishing properties of the nth Fourier coefficients of all complex powers x of the Dedekind \(\eta \)-function. In this paper, we prove that these coefficients are non-vanishing for \(\vert x \vert > \kappa \, (n-1)\) and \(\kappa \approx 9.7225\). Numerical computations imply that 9.72245 is a lower bound for \(\kappa \). This significantly improves previous results by Kostant, Han, and Heim–Neuhauser. The polynomials studied in this paper include Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind, 1-associated Laguerre polynomials, Hermite polynomials, and polynomials associated with overpartitions and plane partitions.
期刊介绍:
Accounts of Chemical Research presents short, concise and critical articles offering easy-to-read overviews of basic research and applications in all areas of chemistry and biochemistry. These short reviews focus on research from the author’s own laboratory and are designed to teach the reader about a research project. In addition, Accounts of Chemical Research publishes commentaries that give an informed opinion on a current research problem. Special Issues online are devoted to a single topic of unusual activity and significance.
Accounts of Chemical Research replaces the traditional article abstract with an article "Conspectus." These entries synopsize the research affording the reader a closer look at the content and significance of an article. Through this provision of a more detailed description of the article contents, the Conspectus enhances the article's discoverability by search engines and the exposure for the research.
