Let µ be a probability measure in C with a continuous and compactly supported density function, let z 1 , . . . , zn be independent random variables, z i ∼ µ, and consider the random polynomialWe determine the asymptotic distribution of {z ∈ C : pn(z) = pn(0)}. In particular, if µ is radial around the origin, then those solutions are also distributed according to µ as n → ∞. Generally, the distribution of the solutions will reproduce parts of µ and condense another part on curves. We use these insights to study the behavior of the Blaschke unwinding series on random data.
