Random polynomials with prescribed Newton polytope

We generalize some previous results on random polynomials in several complex variables. A standard setting is to consider random polynomials $H_n(z):=\sum_{j=1}^{m_n} a_jp_j(z)$ that are linear combinations of basis polynomials $\{p_j\}$ with i.i.d. complex random variable coefficients $\{a_j\}$ where $\{p_j\}$ form an orthonormal basis for a Bernstein-Markov measure on a compact set $K\subset {\bf C}^d$. Here $m_n$ is the dimension of $\mathcal P_n$, the holomorphic polynomi...

This article is divided in two parts. In the first part we review some recent results concerning the expected number of real roots of random system of polynomial equations. In the second part we deal with a different problem, namely, the distribution of the roots of certain complex random polynomials. We discuss a recent result in this direction, which shows that the associated points in the sphere (via the stereographic projection) are surprisingly well-suited with respect t...

We review some recent results on asymptotic properties of polynomials of large degree, of general holomorphic sections of high powers of positive line bundles over Kahler manifolds, and of Laplace eigenfunctions of large eigenvalue on compact Riemannian manifolds. We describe statistical patterns in the zeros, critical points and L^p norms of random polynomials and holomorphic sections, and the influence of the Newton polytope on these patterns. For eigenfunctions, we discuss...

Mark Kac gave one of the first results analyzing random polynomial zeros. He considered the case of independent standard normal coefficients and was able to show that the expected number of real zeros for a degree n polynomial is on the order of (2/pi)log(n), as n goes to infinity. Several years later, Sambandham considered two cases with some dependence assumed among the coefficients. The first case looked at coefficients with an exponentially decaying covariance function, w...

We study the expected number of zeros of $$P_n(z)=\sum_{k=0}^n\eta_kp_k(z),$$ where $\{\eta_k\}$ are complex-valued i.i.d standard Gaussian random variables, and $\{p_k(z)\}$ are polynomials orthogonal on the unit disk. When $p_k(z)=\sqrt{(k+1)/\pi} z^k$, $k\in \{0,1,\dots, n\}$, we give an explicit formula for the expected number of zeros of $P_n(z)$ in a disk of radius $r\in (0,1)$ centered at the origin. From our formula we establish the limiting value of the expected numb...

This article addresses an equidistribution problem concerning the zeros of systems of random holomorphic sections of positive line bundles on compact K\"{a}hler manifolds and random polynomials on $\mathbb{C}^{m}$ in the setting of a compact subset. For random polynomials, we consider non-orthonormal bases and prove an equidistribution result which is more general than the ones acquired before for non-discrete probability measures. More precisely, our result demonstrates that...

Consider a polynomial of large degree n whose coefficients are independent, identically distributed, nondegenerate random variables having zero mean and finite moments of all orders. We show that such a polynomial has exactly k real zeros with probability n^{-b+o(1)}$ as n --> infinity through integers of the same parity as the fixed integer k >= 0. In particular, the probability that a random polynomial of large even degree n has no real zeros is n^{-b+o(1)}. The finite, pos...

We survey results on the distribution of zeros of random polynomials and of random holomorphic sections of line bundles, especially for large classes of probability measures on the spaces of holomorphic sections. We provide furthermore some new examples of measures supported in totally real subsets of the complex probability space.

We study statistical properties of zeros of random polynomials and random analytic functions associated with the pseudoeuclidean group of symmetries SU(1,1), by utilizing both analytical and numerical techniques. We first show that zeros of the SU(1,1) random polynomial of degree $N$ are concentrated in a narrow annulus of the order of $N^{-1}$ around the unit circle on the complex plane, and we find an explicit formula for the scaled density of the zeros distribution along t...

In this work, we study asymptotic zero distribution of random multi-variable polynomials which are random linear combinations $\sum_{j}a_jP_j(z)$ with i.i.d coefficients relative to a basis of orthonormal polynomials $\{P_j\}_j$ induced by a multi-circular weight function $Q$ satisfying suitable smoothness and growth conditions. In complex dimension $m\geq3$, we prove that $\Bbb{E}[(\log(1+|a_j|))^m]<\infty$ is a necessary and sufficient condition for normalized zero currents...
