Abstract. The conjecture on roots of Ehrhart polynomials, stated by Matsui et al. [15, Conjecture 4.10], says that all roots α of the Ehrhart polynomial of a Gorenstein Fano polytope of dimension d satisfy − d 2 ≤ Re(α) ≤ d 2 − 1. In this paper, we observe the behaviors of roots of SSNN polynomials which are a wider class of the polynomials containing all the Ehrhart polynomials of Gorenstein F...
