EXTREMAL PARTICLES OF TWO-DIMENSIONAL COULOMB GASES AND RANDOM POLYNOMIALS ON A POSITIVE BACKGROUND

We study the outliers for two models which have an interesting connection. On the one hand, we study a specific class of planar Coulomb gases which are determinantal. It corresponds to the case where the confining potential is the logarithmic potential of a radial probability measure. On the other hand, we study the zeros of random polynomials that appear to be closely related to the first model. Their behavior far from the origin is shown to depend only on the decaying properties of the probability measure generating the potential. A similar feature is observed for their behavior near the origin. Furthermore, in some cases, the appearance of outliers is observed, and the zeros of random polynomials and the Coulomb gases are seen to exhibit exactly the same behavior, which is related to the unweighted Bergman kernel.
