      V. Golyshev conjectured that for any smooth polytope \(P\) with \(\dim(P)\leq 5\) the complex roots of the Ehrhart polynomial for \(P\) have real part equal to \(-1/2\). The authors give an elementary proof and describe explicitly the roots of the Ehrhart polynomial in dimensions from two to five. They also construct a counterexample to the statement in dimension six.
