Suffridge's convolution theorem for polynomials with zeros in the unit disk
In 1976 Suffridge proved an intruiging theorem regarding the convolution of polynomials with zeros only on the unit circle. His result generalizes a special case of the fundamental Grace-Szegö convolution theorem, but so far it is an open problem whether there is a Suffridge-like extension of the general Grace-Szegö convolution theorem. In this paper we try to approach this question from two different directions: First, we show that Suffridge's convolution theorem holds for a certain class of polynomials with zeros in the unit disk and thus obtain an extension of one further special case of the Grace-Szegö convolution theorem. Second, we present non-circular zero domains which stay invariant under the Grace-Szegö convolution hoping that this will lead to further analogs of Suffridge's convolution theorem.
