Abstract: We consider the zeros of the sum of independent random polynomials as their degrees tend to infinity. Namely, let p and q be two independent random polynomials of degree n, whose roots are chosen independently from the probability measures mu and u in the complex plane, respectively. We compute the limiting distribution for the zeros of the sum p+q as n tends to infinity. The limiting distribution can be described by its logarithmic potential, which we show is the pointwise maximum of the logarithmic potentials of mu and u. More generally, we consider the sum of m independent degree n random polynomials when m is fixed and n tends to infinity. Our results can be viewed as describing a version of the free additive convolution from free probability theory for zeros of polynomials.
