We find zero-free regions in the complex plane at large |. q| for the multivariate Tutte polynomial (also known in statistical mechanics as the Potts-model partition function) ZG(q,w) of a graph G with general complex edge weights w={we}. This generalizes a result of Sokal (2001) [28] that applies only within the complex antiferromagnetic regime |1+we|≤1. Our proof uses the polymer-gas representation of the multivariate Tutte polynomial together with the Penrose identity. © 2012 Elsevier Inc.
