Abstract

We give asymptotic large deviations estimates for the volume inside a domain U of the zero set of a random polynomial of degree N, or more generally, of a random holomorphic section of the N-th power of a positive line bundle on a compact Kahler manifold. In particular, we show that for all δ > 0, the probability that this volume differs by more than δ N from its average value is less than exp(-Cδ,UNm+1), for some constant Cδ,U > 0. As a consequence, the "hole probability" that a random section does not vanish in U has an upper bound of the form exp(-CUNm+1).
