Abstract: Let z1,dots,zm be m distinct complex numbers, normalized to |zk|=1, and consider the polynomial p_{m}(z) = prod_{k=1}^{m}{(z-z_k)}. We define a sequence of polynomials in a greedy fashion, p_{N+1}(z) = p_{N}(z) left(z - z^* ight)qquad mbox{where}~z^* = argmax_{|z|=1} |p_{N}(z)|, and prove that, independently of the initial polynomial pm, the roots of pN equidistribute in angle at rate at most (logN)2/N. This even persists when sometimes adding `adversarial' points by hand. We rephrase the main result in terms of a dynamical system involving the inverse fractional Laplacian (−Delta)−1/2 and conjecture that, when phrased in this language, the underlying regularity phenomenon might appear in a very general setting.
