Abstract: For every positive integer n, consider the linear operator Un on polynomials of degree at most d with integer coefficients defined as follows: if we write frach(t)(1t)d+1=summgeq0g(m)tm, for some polynomial g(m) with rational coefficients, then fracUnh(t)(1t)d+1=summgeq0g(nm)tm. We show that there exists a positive integer nd, depending only on d, such that if h(t) is a polynomial of degree at most d with nonnegative integer coefficients and h(0)geq1, then for ngeqnd, Unh(t) has simple, real, strictly negative roots and positive, strictly log concave and strictly unimodal coefficients. Applications are given to Ehrhart delta-polynomials and unimodular triangulations of dilations of lattice polytopes, as well as Hilbert series of Veronese subrings of Cohen--MacCauley graded rings.
