We attach Hecke polynomials Formula: see text(Formula: see text) to weak Hecke eigenforms Formula: see text of weight 2 – Formula: see text and show that, for large Formula: see text, every zero is simple and lies in 0, 1728. The construction pulls back a weakly holomorphic Hecke combination of Formula: see text along Formula: see text; the analysis follows Hecke orbits on the unit-circle arc Formula: see text, isolating a dominant “cosine” term and controlling the tail via Maass–Poincaré series and Whittaker/Bessel bounds. This extends the Rankin–Swinnerton-Dyer/Asai–Kaneko–Ninomiya picture from holomorphic forms to a broad class of harmonic Maass forms and yields a clean degree–monicity formula and simple criteria for zeros at 0 and 1728.
