Central limit conjecture for zeros of random Newman and Littlewood polynomials

From papers

Let Nn\mathcal N_n and Ln\mathcal L_n denote the relevant families of Newman and Littlewood polynomials of degree nn, and let NN and N~\widetilde N count zeros in the open unit disk with and without the specified unimodular-zero restriction, respectively. Central limit conjecture. For fN2n+1f\in\mathcal N_{2n+1} and gLng\in\mathcal L_n, each standardized variable

N(f)EN(f)var(N(f)),N~(f)EN~(f)var(N~(f)),\frac{N(f)-\mathbb E N(f)}{\sqrt{\operatorname{var}(N(f))}},\quad \frac{\widetilde N(f)-\mathbb E\widetilde N(f)}{\sqrt{\operatorname{var}(\widetilde N(f))}}, N(g)EN(g)var(N(g)),N~(g)EN~(g)var(N~(g))\frac{N(g)-\mathbb E N(g)}{\sqrt{\operatorname{var}(N(g))}},\quad \frac{\widetilde N(g)-\mathbb E\widetilde N(g)}{\sqrt{\operatorname{var}(\widetilde N(g))}}

converges in distribution to Z(0,1)Z(0,1) as nn\to\infty. The conjecture is motivated by the numerical distributions shown in the paper, and no proof or disproof is supplied in the given context.
