On Roots of Random Polynomials
Joint work with Friedrich G\"otze, Ildar Ibragimov, and Alexander Nazarov. Let $\xi_0,\xi_1,\dots,\xi_n,\dots$ be a sequence of random variables. We assume that these variables are independent, identically distributed, and nondegenerate. Consider a random polynomial of one variable \[ G_n(t)=\xi_0+\xi_1t+\dots+\xi_{n-1} t^{n-1} +\xi_n t^n. \] We consider two natural questions: how many roots of $G_n$ are real in average and what is the asymptotical distribution of complex roots of $G_n$?
