Erdős problem #1041
Let $f(z)=\prod_{i=1}^n(z-z_i)\in \mathbb{C}[z]$ with $\lvert z_i\rvert < 1$ for all $i$. Must there always exist a path of length less than $2$ in\[\{z: \lvert f(z)\rvert < 1\}\]which connects two of the roots of $f$?
Official database status is falsifiable; refine the exact certificate contract before any candidate claim.
