LOG-CONCAVITY AND ZEROS OF THE ALEXANDER POLYNOMIAL

2014 Bulletin of the Korean Mathematical Society  
We show that roots of log-concave Alexander knot polynomials are dense in C. This in particular implies that the log-concavity and Hoste's conjecture on the Alexander polynomial of alternating knots are (essentially) independent.
