Universality of Correlations for Random Analytic Functions

We review a result obtained with Andrew Ledoan and Marco Merkli. Consider a random analytic function $f(z) = \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} a_n X_n z^n$, where the $X_n$'s are i.i.d., complex valued random variables with mean zero and unit variance, and the coefficients $a_n$ are non-random and chosen so that the variance transforms covariantly under conformal transformations of the domain. If the $X_n$'s are Gaussian, this is called a Gaussian analytic function (GAF). We prove that, even if the coefficients are not Gaussian, the zero set converges in distribution to that of a GAF near the boundary of the domain.
