The Jensen--Pólya program and inequalities for arithmetic sequences

We develop an analytic framework to study hyperbolicity of Jensen polynomials and related inequalities for arithmetic sequences with general asymptotic growth. Our results provide partial converses to the Hermite–Jensen phenomenon of Griffin, Ono, Zagier, and the third author. As applications we prove several conjectures concerning log-concavity, higher-order Turan inequalities, Laguerre inequalities, infinite log-concavity, and Toeplitz determinants for partition-type functions.
