Erdős problem 1048

If f∈C[x]f\in \mathbb{C}[x] is a monic polynomial with all roots satisfying ∣z∣≤r\lvert z\rvert \leq r for some r<2r<2, then must {z:∣f(z)∣<1}\{ z: \lvert f(z)\rvert <1\} have a connected component with diameter >2−r>2-r?

If 0≤r≤1/20\leq r\leq 1/2 then the component which contains 00 must have diameter ≥2\geq 2, which f(z)=znf(z)=z^n shows is best possible.
