Existence of exceptional polynomial bases with equidistributed random zeros

About 10 years old · traced to

Let E⊂CE\subset\mathbb{C} have non-analytic boundary, and let {Ak}k=0∞\{A_k\}_{k=0}^\infty be i.i.d. random variables with E[log⁡+∣A0∣]=∞\mathbb{E}[\log^+|A_0|]=\infty. For a basis {Bk}k=0∞\{B_k\}_{k=0}^\infty of Szegő, Bergman, or Faber polynomials, define

Pn(z)=∑k=0nAkBk(z).P_n(z)=\sum_{k=0}^n A_kB_k(z).

Exceptional-basis conjecture. It is possible to construct such sets EE and sequences of random variables such that, for each of these polynomial bases, some subsequence of zero counting measures satisfies

τnk⟶wμEalmost surely.\tau_{n_k}\stackrel{w}{\longrightarrow}\mu_E\quad\text{almost surely}.

This conjecture concerns the apparent failure of the necessity direction for almost-sure zero equidistribution under infinite logarithmic moment. The surrounding discussion indicates that the general necessity question is open, while Proposition 2.3 provides a related construction for the monomial basis.
