Zeros of even and odd period polynomials

Abstract

Let $f \in S_k(\Gamma_0(N))$ be a newform, and let $r_f^{\pm}(X)$ denote its corresponding even and odd period polynomials. For sufficiently large level and weight, we show that the zeros of $r_f^{\pm}(X)$ all lie on the circle $|X| = \frac{1}{\sqrt N}$.
