Asymptotic distribution of complex zeros of random analytic functions (1407.6523v1)

Abstract: Let $\xi_0,\xi_1,\ldots$ be independent identically distributed complex- valued random variables such that $\mathbb{E}\log(1+|\xi 0|)<\infty$. We consider random analytic functions of the form [\mathbf{G}_n(z)=\sum{k=0}^{\infty}\xi_kf_{k,n}z^k,] where $f_{k,n}$ are deterministic complex coefficients. Let $\mu_n$ be the random measure counting the complex zeros of $\mathbf{G}n$ according to their multiplicities. Assuming essentially that $-\frac{1}{n}\log f{[tn],n}\to u(t)$ as $n\to\infty$, where $u(t)$ is some function, we show that the measure $\frac{1}{n}\mu_n$ converges in probability to some deterministic measure $\mu$ which is characterized in terms of the Legendre-Fenchel transform of $u$. The limiting measure $\mu$ does not depend on the distribution of the $\xi_k$'s. This result is applied to several ensembles of random analytic functions including the ensembles corresponding to the three two-dimensional geometries of constant curvature. As another application, we prove a random polynomial analogue of the circular law for random matrices.
