Russo-Seymour-Welsh estimates for the Kostlan ensemble of random polynomials Wigman, Igor
Description
Beginning with the predictions of Bogomolny-Schmit for the random plane wave, in recent years the deep connections between the level sets of smooth Gaussian random fields and percolation have become apparent. In classical percolation theory a key input into the analysis of global connectivity are scale-independent bounds on crossing probabilities in the critical regime, known as Russo-Seymour-Welsh (RSW) estimates. Similarly, establishing RSW-type estimates for the nodal sets of Gaussian random fields is a major step towards a rigorous understanding of these relations. The Kostlan ensemble is an important model of Gaussian homogeneous random polynomials. The nodal set of this ensemble is a natural model for a `typical' real projective hypersurface, whose understanding can be considered as a statistical version of Hilbert's 16th problem. In this paper we establish RSW-type estimates for the nodal sets of the Kostlan ensemble in dimension two, providing a rigorous relation between random algebraic curves and percolation. The estimates are uniform with respect to the degree of the polynomials, and are valid on all relevant scales; this, in particular, resolves an open question raised recently by Beffara-Gayet. More generally, our arguments yield RSW estimates for a wide class of Gaussian ensembles of smooth random functions on the sphere or the flat torus. This is a joint with with D. Beliaev and S. Muirhead
