Abstract

We consider the zeroes of the random Gaussian entire function f(z)= ∑ σinfk=0ξk zkk! ξ0ξ1,. . . are Gaussian i.i.d. complex random variables) and show that their basins under the gradient flow of the random potential U(z) = log |f(z)| - 1/2|z|2 partition the complex plane into domains of equal area. We find three characteristic exponents 1, 8/5, and 4 of this random partition: the probability that the diameter of a particular basin is greater than R is exponentially small in R; the probability that a given point z lies at a distance larger than R from the zero, it is attracted to decays as e -R8/5 ; and the probability that, after throwing away 1% of the area of the basin, its diameter is still larger than R decays as e -R4. We also introduce a combinatorial procedure that modifies a small portion of each basin in such a way that the probability that the diameter of a particular modified basin is greater than R decays as e -cR4(logR)-3/2.
