Limit law for repeated derivatives of polynomials with i.i.d. roots

About 6 years old · traced to

Let Pn(z)=∏k=1n(z−Zk)P_n(z)=\prod_{k=1}^n(z-Z_k), where Z1,…,ZnZ_1,\ldots,Z_n are i.i.d. random variables with rotationally invariant law μ0\mu_0 on C\mathbb{C} having no atom at 00. Let μt\mu_t be the deterministic rotationally invariant measure defined by the formulas referenced in the source. i.i.d.-root limit conjecture. For every t∈[0,1)t\in[0,1),

1n∑z∈C:Pn([tn])(z)=0δz⟶n→∞Pμt\frac1n\sum_{z\in\mathbb{C}:P_n^{([tn])}(z)=0}\delta_z\overset{P}{\underset{n\to\infty}{\longrightarrow}}\mu_t

in probability on M(C)\mathcal M(\mathbb{C}). The conjecture predicts that the random-root model has the same asymptotic repeated-derivative behavior as the deterministic-coefficient model constructed from the corresponding convex function; the claim is open.
