Random polynomials with prescribed Newton polytope

We introduce several notions of `random fewnomials', i.e. random polynomials with a fixed number f of monomials of degree N. The f exponents are chosen at random and then the coefficients are chosen to be Gaussian random, mainly from the SU(m + 1) ensemble. The results give limiting formulas as N goes to infinity for the expected distribution of complex zeros of a system of k random fewnomials in m variables. When k = m, for SU(m + 1) polynomials, the limit is the Monge-Amper...

We review some recent results on random polynomials and their generalizations in complex and symplectic geometry. The main theme is the universality of statistics of zeros and critical points of (generalized) polynomials of degree $N$ on length scales of order $\frac{D}{\sqrt{N}}$ (complex case), resp. $\frac{D}{N}$ (real case).

We study equidistribution problem of zeros in relation to a sequence of $Z$-asymptotically Chebyshev polynomials(which might not be orthonormal) in $\mathbb{C}^{m}$. We use certain results obtained in a very recent work of Bayraktar, Bloom and Levenberg and have an equidistribution result in a more general probabilistic setting than what the paper of Bayraktar, Bloom and Levenberg considers even though the basis polynomials they use are more general than $Z$-asymptotically Ch...

We provide an elementary geometric derivation of the Kac integral formula for the expected number of real zeros of a random polynomial with independent standard normally distributed coefficients. We show that the expected number of real zeros is simply the length of the moment curve $(1,t,\ldots,t^n)$ projected onto the surface of the unit sphere, divided by $\pi$. The probability density of the real zeros is proportional to how fast this curve is traced out. We then relax Ka...

The goal of this paper is to attract attention of the reader to a dimension-free geometric inequality that can be proved using the classical needle decomposition. This inequality allows us to derive sharp dimension-free estimates for the distribution of values of polynomials in n-dimensional convex bodies. Such estimates, in their turn, lead to a surprising result about the distribution of zeroes of random analytic functions; informally speaking, we show that for simple famil...

For random systems of $K$ polynomials in $N + 1$ real variables which include the models of Kostlan (1987) and Shub and Smale (1992), we prove that the number of zeros for $K = N$ or the volume of the zero set for $K < N$ on the unit sphere concentrates around its mean as $N\to\infty$. To prove concentration we show that the variance of the latter random variable normalized by its mean goes to zero. The polynomial systems we consider depend on a choice of a set of parameters ...

We consider random polynomials of the form $H_n(z)=\sum_{j=0}^n\xi_jq_j(z)$ where the $\{\xi_j\}$ are i.i.d non-degenerate complex random variables, and the $\{q_j(z)\}$ are orthonormal polynomials with respect to a compactly supported measure $\tau$ satisfying the Bernstein-Markov property on a regular compact set $K \subset \mathbb{C}$. We show that if $\mathbb{P}(|\xi_0|>e^{|z|})=o(|z|^{-1})$, then the normalized counting measure of the zeros of $H_n$ converges weakly in p...

In this note, we prove a central limit theorem for smooth linear statistics of zeros of random polynomials which are linear combinations of orthogonal polynomials with iid standard complex Gaussian coefficients. Along the way, we obtain Bergman kernel asymptotics for weighted $L^2$-space of polynomials endowed with varying measures of the form $e^{-2n\varphi_n(z)}dz$ under suitable assumptions on the weight functions $\varphi_n$.

Let p_N be a random degree N polynomial in one complex variable whose zeros are chosen independently from a fixed probability measure mu on the Riemann sphere S^2. This article proves that if we condition p_N to have a zero at some fixed point xi in , then, with high probability, there will be a critical point w_xi a distance 1/N away from xi. This 1/N distance is much smaller than the one over root N typical spacing between nearest neighbors for N i.i.d. points on S^2. Moreo...

We study the density of complex zeros of a system of real random SO($m+1$) polynomials in several variables. We show that the density of complex zeros of this random polynomial system with real coefficients rapidly approaches the density of complex zeros in the complex coefficients case. We also show that the behavior the scaled density of complex zeros near $\mathbb{R}^m$ of the system of real random polynomials is different in the $m\geq 2$ case than in the $m=1$ case: the ...
