Let $P(z)=P_U(z)$ be the characteristic polynomial of $U$. We prove that for $z$ close to the unit circle, $ \\frac{P'}{P}(z) $ can be approximated using zeros of $P$ very close to $z$, with a typically controllable error term. This is an analogue of a result of Selberg for the Riemann zeta-function. We also prove a mesoscopic central limit theorem for $ \\frac{P'}{P}(z) $ away from the unit circle, and this is an analogue of a result of Lester for zeta.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-11-26T17:48:33.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "random unitary matrix", "characteristic polynomial", "logarithmic derivative", "unit circle", "mesoscopic central limit theorem" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
