Consider a random trigonometric polynomial $X_n: \mathbb R \to \mathbb R$ of the form $$ X_n(t) = \sum_{k=1}^n \left( \xi_k \sin (kt) + \eta_k \cos (kt)\right), $$ where $(\xi_1,\eta_1),(\xi_2,\eta_2),\ldots$ are independent identically…

The Kac polynomial $$f_n(x) = \sum_{i=0}^{n} \xi_i x^i$$ 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…

Let $P_n(x) = \sum_{k=0}^{n} \xi_k x^k$ be a Kac random polynomial, where the coefficients $\xi_k$ are i.i.d.\ copies of a given random variable $\xi$. Based on numerical experiments, it has been conjectured that if $\xi$ has mean zero,…

We investigate the local distribution of roots of random functions of the form $F_n(z)= \sum_{i=1}^n \xi_i \phi_i(z) $, where $\xi_i$ are independent random variables and $\phi_i (z) $ are arbitrary analytic functions. Starting with the…

In this paper, we study how the roots of the so-called Kac polynomial $W_n(z) = \sum_{k=0}^{n-1} \xi_k z^k$ are concentrating to the unit circle when its coefficients of $W_n$ are independent and identically distributed non-degenerate real…

We study the density of complex critical points of a real random SO(m+1) polynomial in m variables. In a previous paper [Mac09], the author used the Poincare- Lelong formula to show that the density of complex zeros of a system of these…
