Distribution results on polynomials with bounded roots

For the well-known Schur-Cohn region consists of all d-dimensional vectors corresponding to monic polynomials whose roots all lie in the open unit disk. This region has been extensively studied over decades. Recently, Akiyama and PethA considered the subsets of the Schur-Cohn region that correspond to polynomials of degree d with exactly s pairs of nonreal roots. They were especially interested in the d-dimensional Lebesgue measures of these sets and their arithmetic properties, and gave some fundamental results. Moreover, they posed two conjectures that we prove in the present paper. Namely, we show that in the totally complex case the formula v(2s)((s))/v(2s)((o)) = 2(2s (s - 1)) [GRAPHICS] holds for all and in the general case the quotient is an integer for all choices and . We even go beyond that and prove explicit formul' for for arbitrary , . The ingredients of our proofs comprise Selberg type integrals, determinants like the Cauchy double alternant, and partial Hilbert matrices.
