Abstract

Let Gn(z)=ξ0+ξ1z+...+ξnznG_n(z)=\xi_0+\xi_1z+...+\xi_n z^n be a random polynomial with i.i.d. coefficients (real or complex). We show that the arguments of the roots of Gn(z)G_n(z) are uniformly distributed in [0,2π][0,2\pi] asymptotically as nn\to\infty. We also prove that the condition \Eln(1+ξ0)<\E\ln(1+|\xi_0|)<\infty is necessary and sufficient for the roots to asymptotically concentrate near the unit circumference.
