Let $f(z) ∈ ℂ[z]$ be a monic non-constant polynomial. Can the set ${z ∈ ℂ : |f(z)| ≤ 1}$ be covered by a set of closed discs the sum of whose radii is $≤ 2e$? Solution: True. This is due to Cartan.

Let $f(z) ∈ ℂ[z]$ be a monic non-constant polynomial. If it is connected, can the set ${z ∈ ℂ : |f(z)| ≤ 1}$ be covered by a set of circles the sum of whose radii is $≤ 2$? Solution: True. This is due to Pommerenke.
