Roots of random polynomials have been studied intensively in both analysis and probability for a long time. A famous result by Ibragimov and Maslova, generalizing earlier fundamental works of Kac and Erdős–Offord, showed that the expectation of the number of real roots is [Formula: see text]. In this paper, we determine the true nature of the error term by showing that the expectation equals [Formula: see text]. Prior to this paper, the error term [Formula: see text] has been known only for polynomials with Gaussian coefficients.

AbstractIn this paper we deduce a universal result about the asymptotic distribution of roots of random polynomials, which can be seen as a complement to an old and famous result of Erdős and Turan. More precisely, given a sequence of random polynomials, we show that, under some very general conditions, the roots tend to cluster near the unit circle, and their angles are uniformly distributed. The method we use is deterministic: in particular, we do not assume independence or equidistribution of the coefficients of the polynomial.
