Hole radii for the Kac polynomials and derivatives

Probability 2023-08-23 v1

Abstract

The Kac polynomial fn(x)=i=0nξixif_n(x) = \sum_{i=0}^{n} \xi_i x^i with independent coefficients of variance 1 is one of the most studied models of random polynomials. It is well-known that the empirical measure of the roots converges to the uniform measure on the unit disk. On the other hand, at any point on the unit disk, there is a hole in which there are no roots, with high probability. In a beautiful work \cite{michelen2020real}, Michelen showed that the holes at ±1\pm 1 are of order 1/n1/n. We show that in fact, all the hole radii are of the same order. The same phenomenon is established for the derivatives of the Kac polynomial as well.
