We study the expected number of zeros ofwhere {η k } are complex-valued i.i.d standard Gaussian random variables, and {p k (z)} are polynomials orthogonal on the unit disk. When p k (z) = (k + 1)/πz k , k ∈ {0, 1, . . . , n}, we give an explicit formula for the expected number of zeros of P n (z) in a disk of radius r ∈ (0, 1) centered at the origin. From our formula we establish the limiting value of the expected number of zeros, the expected number of zeros in a radially expanding disk, and show that the expected number of zeros in the unit disk is 2n/3. Generalizing our basis functions {p k (z)} to be regular in the sense of Ullman-Stahl-Totik, and that the measure of orthogonality associated to polynomials is absolutely continuous with respect to planar Lebesgue measure, we give the limiting value of the expected number of zeros of P n (z) in a disk of radius r ∈ (0, 1) centered at the origin, and show that asymptotically the expected number of zeros in the unit disk is 2n/3.
