Abstract: Recently, the authors and de Wolff introduced the imaginary projection of a polynomial $finmathbbC[mathbfz]$ as the projection of the variety of $f$ onto its imaginary part, $mathcalI(f)=extIm(mathbfz),:,mathbfzinmathcalV(f)$. Since a polynomial $f$ is stable if and only if $mathcalI(f)capmathbb{R}_{>0}^n=emptyset$, the notion offers a novel geometric view underlying stability questions of polynomials. In this article, we study the relation between the imaginary projections and hyperbolicity cones, where the latter ones are only defined for homogeneous polynomials. Building upon this, for homogeneous polynomials we provide a tight upper bound for the number of components in the complement $mathcalI(f{)}^c$ and thus for the number of hyperbolicity cones of $f$. And we show that for $nge2$, a polynomial $f$ in $n$ variables can have an arbitrarily high number of strictly convex and bounded components in $mathcalI(f{)}^c$.
