Roots of Ehrhart polynomials of smooth Fano polytopes (2011)
Journal Article

V. Golyshev conjectured that for any smooth polytope P of dimension at most five, the roots $z\in\C$ of the Ehrhart polynomial for P have real part equal to -1/2. An elementary proof is given, and in each dimension the roots are described explicitly.... Read More about Roots of Ehrhart polynomials of smooth Fano polytopes.
