Let $f(z)=\sum _{n=0}^{\infty }a_n z^n \in H(\mathbb {D})$ be an analytic function over the unit disk in the complex plane, and let $\mathcal {R} f$ be its randomization:

$$ \begin{align*}(\mathcal{R} f)(z)= \sum_{n=0}^{\infty} a_n X_n z^n \in H(\mathbb{D}),\end{align*} $$

where $(X_n)_{n\ge 0}$ is a standard sequence of independent Bernoulli, Steinhaus, or Gaussian random variables. In this note, we characterize those $f(z) \in H(\mathbb {D})$ such that the zero set of $\mathcal {R} f$ satisfies a Blaschke-type condition almost surely:

$$ \begin{align*}\sum_{n=1}^{\infty}(1-|z_n|)^t<\infty, \quad t>1.\end{align*} $$

We consider homogeneous multiaffine polynomials whose coefficients are the Plücker coordinates of a point $V$ of the Grassmannian. We show that such a polynomial is stable (with respect to the upper half plane) if and only if $V$ is in the totally nonnegative part of the Grassmannian. To prove this, we consider an action of matrices on multiaffine polynomials. We show that a matrix $A$ preserves stability of polynomials if and only if $A$ is totally nonnegative. The proofs are applications of classical theory of totally nonnegative matrices, and the generalized Pólya-Schur theory of Borcea and Brändén.

In this paper we study the zero sets of harmonic functions on open sets in ${{\mathbb{R}}^{N}}$ and holomorphic functions on open sets in ${{\mathbb{C}}^{N}}$. We show that the non-extendability of such zero sets is a generic phenomenon.

We prove that if the $\left( 1,\,1 \right)$-current of integration on an analytic subvariety $V\,\subset \,D$ satisfies the uniform Blaschke condition, then $V$ is the zero set of a holomorphic function $f$ such that $\log \,\left| f \right|$ is a function of bounded mean oscillation in $bD$. The domain $D$ is assumed to be smoothly bounded and of finite d’Angelo type. The proof amounts to non-isotropic estimates for a solution to the $\overline{\partial }$-equation for Carleson measures.

Using a canonical linear embedding of the algebra ${{G}^{\infty }}\left( \Omega \right)$ of Colombeau generalized functions in the space of $\overline{\mathbb{C}}$ -valued $\mathbb{C}$-linear maps on the space $D\left( \Omega \right)$ of smooth functions with compact support, we give vanishing conditions for functions and linear integral operators of class ${{G}^{\infty }}$ . These results are then applied to the zeros of holomorphic generalized functions in dimension greater than one.

L’objectif de cet article est d’étudier la notion d’amibe au sens de Favorov pour les systèmes finis de sommes d’exponentielles à fréquences réelles et de montrer que, sous des hypothèses de généricité sur les fréquences, le complémentaire de l’amibe d’un système de $(k\,+\,1)$ sommes d’exponentielles à fréquences réelles est un sous-ensemble $k$-convexe au sens d’Henriques.

It is shown, that the so-called Blaschke condition characterizes in any bounded smooth convex domain of finite type exactly the divisors which are zero sets of functions of the Nevanlinna class on the domain. The main tool is a non-isotropic L1 estimate for solutions of the Cauchy-Riemann equations on such domains, which are obtained by estimating suitable kernels of Berndtsson-Andersson type.
