On the zeros of confluent hypergeometric functions

Abstract: In this paper, we study the zero sets of the confluent hypergeometric function

_{1} F_{1} (a l p h a; g a m m a; z) := s u m_{n = 0}^{i n f t y} f r a c (a l p h a)_{n} n! (g a m m a)_{n} z^{n}

, where

a l p h a, g a m m a, g a m m a - a l p h a o t i n m a t h b b Z_{l e q 0}

, and show that if

{z_{n}}_{n = 1}^{i n f t y}

is the zero set of

_{1} F_{1} (a l p h a; g a m m a; z)

with multiple zeros repeated and modulus in increasing order, then there exists a constant

M > 0

such that

| z_{n} | g e q M n

for all

n g e q 1

.
