Abstract: In this paper, we establish some local universality results concerning the correlation functions of the zeroes of random polynomials with independent coefficients. More precisely, consider two random polynomials f=sumi=1ncixiizi and ildef=sumi=1nciildexiizi, where the xii and ildexii are iid random variables that match moments to second order, the coefficients ci are deterministic, and the degree parameter n is large. Our results show, under some light conditions on the coefficients ci and the tails of xii,ildexii, that the correlation functions of the zeroes of f and ildef are approximately the same. As an application, we give some answers to the classical question `"How many zeroes of a random polynomials are real?" for several classes of random polynomial models. Our analysis relies on a general replacement principle, motivated by some recent work in random matrix theory. This principle enables one to compare the correlation functions of two random functions f and ildef if their log magnitudes log|f|,log|ildef| are close in distribution, and if some non-concentration bounds are obeyed.
