Number variance of random zeros on complex manifolds

Abstract

We show that the variance of the number of simultaneous zeros of $m$ i.i.d. Gaussian random polynomials of degree $N$ in an open set $U\subset C^m$ with smooth boundary is asymptotic to $N^{m-1/2}{\nu }_{mm}Vol(\partial U)$, where ${\nu }_{mm}$ is a universal constant depending only on the dimension $m$. We also give formulas for the variance of the volume of the set of simultaneous zeros in $U$ of $k<m$ random degree-$N$ polynomials on $C^m$. Our results hold more generally for the simultaneous zeros of random holomorphic sections of the $N$-th power of any positive line bundle over any $m$-dimensional compact Kähler manifold.

Some computations are simplified and positivity of the coefficient of the leading term in the variance formula is shown for all codimensions. This article is a follow-up to math/0512652, which dealt with zero sets of codimension one. The original posting (v1) also contains results on smooth linear statistics and on random holomorphic functions on noncompact manifolds
