In addition, we bridge a small gap in the method of proof devised by Shepp and Vanderbei. Our approach makes use of the Jacobians of functions of several complex variables and the mean ratio of complex normal random variables.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2021-08-22T10:50:58.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "30C15", "30C10", "30C40", "30E15", "32A10", "32A25", "42C05" ], "keywords": [ "random polynomials", "complex normal random variables", "identically distributed standard normal coefficients", "complex domain", "distribution" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 21, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
