Collatz Polynomials: an Introduction with Bounds on their Zeros

In this talk we consider Collatz polynomials. In particular, we bound the moduli of the roots of these polynomials using a determinantal approach, prove theorems on when these polynomials have rational integer roots, and suggest further applications and avenues of research.
