Polynomials $\\{B_k\\}_{k=0}^{\\infty}$ are selected from a standard basis such as Szeg\\H{o}, Bergman, or Faber polynomials associated with a Jordan domain $G$ whose boundary is $C^{2, \\alpha}$ smooth. We show that the zero counting measures of $P_n$ converge almost surely to the equilibrium measure on the boundary of $G$. We also show that if $\\{a_k\\}_{k=0}^{\\infty}$ are i.i.d. random variables, and the domain $G$ has analytic boundary, then for a random series of the form $f(z) =\\sum_{k=0}^{\\infty}a_k B_k(z),$ $\\partial{G}$ is almost surely a natural boundary for $f(z).$", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2017-10-02T23:10:15.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "60F15", "30B40" ], "keywords": [ "natural boundary", "zero distribution", "random polynomials", "smooth domains", "complex random variables" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 9, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
