SUMMARY:Covering by polynomial planks (Alexey Glazyrin\, University of Texas Rio Grande Valley)
DESCRIPTION:In 1932\, Tarski conjectured that a convex body of width 1 can be covered by planks\, regions between two parallel hyperplanes\, only if the total width of planks is at least 1. In 1951\, Bang proved the conjecture of Tarski. In this work we study the polynomial version of Tarski’s plank problem. \nWe note that the recent polynomial proofs of the spherical and complex plank covering problems by Zhao and Ortega-Moreno give some general information on zeros of real and complex polynomials restricted to the unit sphere. As a corollary of these results\, we establish several generalizations of the Bang plank covering theorem.\nUsing the polynomial approach\, we also prove the strengthening of the Fejes Tóth zone conjecture on covering a sphere by spherical segments\, closed parts of the sphere between two parallel hyperplanes. In particular\, we show that the sum of angular widths of spherical segments covering the whole sphere is at least π. \nThis is a joint work with Roman Karasev and Alexandr Polyanskii.
