A solution to the Erd\H{o}s Problem #1040

For a compact set $K\subset\mathbb{C}$, let $\vartheta(K)$ be the infimum of the planar areas of the unit lemniscates of all monic polynomials with zeros in $K$, allowing arbitrary degree and repeated zeros. We prove that $\vartheta(K)=0$ whenever $\operatorname{cap}(K)=1$, with no regularity assumption on $K$. The pro...
