Abstract

Let UU(N)U\in U(N) be a random unitary matrix of size NN, distributed with respect to the Haar measure on U(N)U(N). Let P(z)=PU(z)P(z)=P_U(z) be the characteristic polynomial of UU. We prove that for zz close to the unit circle, PP(z) \frac{P'}{P}(z) can be approximated using zeros of PP very close to zz, with a typically controllable error term. This is an analogue of a result of Selberg for the Riemann zeta-function. We also prove a mesoscopic central limit theorem for PP(z) \frac{P'}{P}(z) away from the unit circle, and this is an analogue of a result of Lester for zeta.
