In this talk, I will summarize forthcoming work with Griffin, Ono, and Zagier. In 1927, P´olya proved that the Riemann Hypothesis is equivalent to the hy-perbolicity of Jensen polynomials for Riemann’s Xi-function. This hyperbolicity has been proved for degrees d ≤ 3. We obtain an arbitrary precision asymptotic formula for the derivatives Ξ(2n)(0), which allows us to prove the hyperbolicity of 100% of the Jensen polynomials of each degree. We obtain a general theorem which models such polynomials by Hermite polynomials. This general condition also confirms a conjecture of Chen, Jia, and Wang.
