On the roots of Bernoulli polynomials












2












$begingroup$


Consider the Bernoulli polynomials denoted by $B_n(z)$. Now, start plotting the set of all (combined) complex roots $mathcal{A}_N$ of $B_n(z)$, say for $n=1,2,dots,N$ for some enough large $N$. It appears that $mathcal{A}_N$ branches into several "curves".




QUESTION: Or, does it? If so, what are these curves?




Request: Can someone post the complex plot here?

Here is an animation of the zeros of the first $100$ Bernoulli polynomials, produced using Maple.

For the number of real roots, see OEIS sequence A094937 and references there.
