Inradius of random lemniscates

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: A classically studied geometric property associated to a complex polynomial p is the inradius (the radius of the largest inscribed disk) of its (filled) lemniscate Lambda:=zinmathbbC:|p(z)|<1. In this paper, we study the lemniscate inradius when the defining polynomial p is random, namely, with the zeros of p sampled independently from a compactly supported probability measure mu. If the negative set of the logarithmic potential Umu generated by mu is non-empty, then the inradius is bounded from below by a positive constant with overwhelming probability. Moreover, the inradius has a determinstic limit if the negative set of Umu additionally contains the support of mu. On the other hand, when the zeros are sampled independently and uniformly from the unit circle, then the inradius converges in distribution to a random variable taking values in (0,1/2). We also consider the characteristic polynomial of a Ginibre random matrix whose lemniscate we show is close to the unit disk with overwhelming probability.
