Review text

This paper develops two constructions of Gaussian random holomorphic sections of a Hermitian holomorphic line bundle \((L,h_L)\) over a Hermitian complex manifold \((X,\Theta)\). The focus is on the case where the space of \(L^2\)-holomorphic sections \(H^0_{(2)}(X,L)\) is infinite-dimensional, which poses difficulties for defining Gaussian probability measures in the usual way.\N\NThe first construction generalizes the finite-dimensional case by defining random sections through an orthonormal basis of \(H^0_{(2)}(X,L)\), using properties of the Bergman kernel. In particular, Gaussian coefficients yield a random holomorphic section whose distribution does not depend on the chosen basis. However, in the infinite-dimensional setting, such sections are almost never \(L^2\)-integrable.\N\NThe second approach employs abstract Wiener space theory together with Berezin-Toeplitz quantization. Here, Toeplitz operators associated with smooth functions provide a natural way to define Gaussian measures on \(H^0_{(2)}(X,L)\), leading to a Gaussian ensemble of genuine \(L^2\)-holomorphic sections.\N\NBeyond their construction, the authors investigate the distribution of zeros of these random sections in a semiclassical regime, considering tensor powers \((L^p,h_L^p)\) as \(p \to \infty\). In this setting, the zeros of random sections converge, as currents, to the first Chern form \(c_1(L,h_L)\). This connects the geometry of the line bundle with probabilistic features of random holomorphic sections.\N\NThe work further explores large deviation estimates, hole probabilities, and local fluctuations at the Planck scale \(1/\sqrt{p}\), showing that zeros display universal statistical behavior independent of the underlying geometry. The use of Toeplitz operators links this probabilistic study to geometric quantization, where semiclassical limits allow one to recover information about the original function defining the Toeplitz operator.\N\NIn summary, the article provides a systematic framework for constructing Gaussian ensembles of holomorphic sections in infinite-dimensional settings, and analyzes their zeroes in both global and local asymptotic regimes, establishing connections with complex geometry, quantization, and universality phenomena.
