Real roots of Random Polynomials: Universality close to accumulation points
We identify the scaling region of a width O(n^{-1}) in the vicinity of the
accumulation points of the real roots of a random Kac-like polynomial
of large degree n. We argue that the density of the real roots in this region
tends to a universal form shared by all polynomials with independent,
identically distributed coefficients c_i, as long as the second moment
\sigma=E(c_i^2) is finite. In particular, we reveal a gradual (in contrast to
the previously reported abrupt) and quite nontrivial suppression of the number
of real roots for coefficients with a nonzero mean value \mu_n = E(c_i) scaled
as \mu_n\sim n^{-1/2}.Comment: Some minor mistakes that crept through into publication have been

Correlations between zeros of a random polynomial
We obtain exact analytical expressions for correlations between real zeros of
the Kac random polynomial. We show that the zeros in the interval are
asymptotically independent of the zeros outside of this interval, and that the
straightened zeros have the same limit translation invariant correlations. Then
we calculate the correlations between the straightened zeros of the SO(2)
random polynomial.Comment: 31 pages, 2 figures; a revised version of the J. Stat. Phys. pape
