Abstract: Fixing a positive integer r and 0lekler−1, define flangler,kangle for every formal power series f as f(x)=flangler,0angle(xr)+xflangler,1angle(xr)+cdots+xr−1flangler,r−1angle(xr). Jochemko recently showed that the polynomial Ur,kn,h(x):=left((1+x+cdots+xr−1)nh(x)ight)langler,kangle has only nonpositive zeros for any rgedegh(x)−k and any positive integer n. As a consequence, Jochemko confirmed a conjecture of Beck and Stapledon on the Ehrhart polynomial h(x) of a lattice polytope of dimension n, which states that Ur,0n,h(x) has only negative, real zeros whenever rgen. In this paper, we provide an alternative approach to Beck and Stapledon's conjecture by proving the following general result: if the polynomial sequence left(hlangler,r−iangle(x)ight)1leiler is interlacing, so is left(Ur,r−in,h(x)ight)1leiler. Our result has many other interesting applications. In particular, this enables us to give a new proof of Savage and Visontai's result on the interlacing property of some refinements of the descent generating functions for colored permutations. Besides, we derive a Carlitz identity for refined colored permutations.
