Abstract

We consider the zero sets ZN of systems of m random polynomials of degree N in m complex variables, and we give asymptotic formulas for the random variables given by summing a smooth test function over ZN. Our asymptotic formulas show that the variances for these smooth statistics have the growth Nm-2. We also prove analogues for the integrals of smooth test forms over the subvarieties dened by k < m random polynomials. Such linear statistics of random zero sets are smooth analogues of the random variables given by counting the number of zeros in an open set, which we proved elsewhere to have variances of order Nm-1/2. We use the variance a symptotics and off-diagonal estimates of Szego{double acute} kernels to extend the central limit theorem of Sodin-Tsirelson to the case of smooth linear statistics for zero sets of codimension one in any dimension m.
