This article proves that if we condition p_N to have a zero at some fixed point xi in , then, with high probability, there will be a critical point w_xi a distance 1/N away from xi. This 1/N distance is much smaller than the one over root N typical spacing between nearest neighbors for N i.i.d. points on S^2. Moreover, with the same high probability, the argument of w_xi relative to xi is a deterministic function of mu plus fluctuations on the order of 1/N.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2016-01-24T18:59:37.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "critical point", "random polynomials", "high probability", "fixed probability measure mu", "mu plus fluctuations" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2016arXiv160106417H" } } }
