zeros of an infinite series












7












$begingroup$


Let $sum_{j=1}^{infty}a_{j}$ be a convergent series of positive numbers and ${z_{j}}_{j=1}^infty$ a closed discrete subset of the open unit disc $mathbb{D}$. Then $h(z):=sum_{j=1}^{infty}frac{a_{j}}{z-z_{j}}$ is a meromorphic function on $mathbb{D}$.



The question is: If we only consider the case of infinite sum, does $h(z)=sum_{j=1}^{infty}frac{a_{j}}{z-z_{j}}$ always have infinitely many zeros on $mathbb{D}$? Note that $h$ never vanishes outside $mathbb{D}$.



This question comes from the following paper (Example 1.1 and Question 3.3). Any comment is welcome.

          This was conjectured by J. Borcea, and a counterexample was constructed by J. Langley:



          MR2317957

          Langley, J. K.
          Equilibrium points of logarithmic potentials on convex domains,
          Proc. Amer. Math. Soc. 135 (2007), no. 9, 2821–2826.



          His counterexample has an additional property that $z_k$ tend to a limit on the unit circle.



          However, the is true under some additional conditions imposed on $z_k$.



          Notice that a similar question in the plane (under the assumptions $z_ktoinfty$, and
          $$sum_k a_k/|z_k|<infty,$$
          $f$ is meromorphic in the plane) is unsolved, despite a lot of research on this question.
