Abstract

Given a complex polynomial PP with zeroes z1,,zdz_1,\dotsc,z_d, we show that the asymptotic zero-counting measure of the iterated derivatives Q(n), n=1,2,Q^{(n)}, \ n=1,2,\dotsc, where Q=R/PQ=R/P is any irreducible rational function, converges to an explicitly constructed probability measure supported by the Voronoi diagram associated with z1,,zdz_1,\dotsc,z_d. This refines P\'olya's Shire theorem for these functions. In addition, we prove a similar result, using currents, for Voronoi diagrams associated with generic hyperplane configurations in Cm\mathbb C^m.
