Distribution of complex algebraic numbers on the unit circle

For $-π\leqβ_1<β_2\leqπ$ denote by $Φ_{β_1,β_2}(Q)$ the number of algebraic numbers on the unit circle with arguments in $[β_1,β_2]$ of degree $2m$ and with elliptic height at most $Q$. We show that $Φ_{β_1,β_2}(Q)=Q^{m+1}\int\limits_{β_1}^{β_2}{p(t)}\,{\rm d}t+O\left(Q^m\,\log Q\right),\quad Q\to\infty,$ where $p(t)$ coincides up to a constant factor with the density of the roots of some random trigonometric polynomial. This density is calculated explicitly using the Edelman--Kostlan formula.
