Level sets and the distribution of zeros of entire functions (Q5954551)

Let \(\Sigma_\infty (A)\) be a class of even entire functions that can be represented in the following form \[ f(z)=ce^{-az^2} z^{2m} \prod^\infty_{k=1} \left(1-{z^2\over z^2_k}\right), \] where \(c\) is a nonzero real number, \(a\geq 0\), \(m\) is a nonnegative integer, \(z_k\in \{z\in \mathbb{C}: |\text{In} z|\leq A\), \(A\geq 0\} \setminus\{0\}\), Re \(z_k\geq 0\) and \(\sum 1/ |z_k|^2 <\infty\). The authors have investigated the properties of the functions from this class. The main result of this paper is Theorem 1.3. Let \(f\in \sum_\infty(A)\). Then for any \(t\in\mathbb{R} \setminus \{0\}\) and for any \(\theta \in\mathbb{R}\) the entire function \[ g_{t,\theta} (z)=e^{i \theta}f (z+t)+ e^{-i\theta} f(z-t) \] has infinitely many zeros on the imaginary axis.
