5. The Conjecture of Shapiro and Shapiro

The results of Section 4 were inspired by a remarkable conjecture of Boris Shapiro and Michael Shapiro. We discuss that conjecture and its extensions in this Section. There is a separate Web page discussing this conjecture, and everything known about it in 1999. We highly recommend its perusal.
