Variance of the number of zeros of dependent Gaussian trigonometric polynomials

Abstract

We compute the variance asymptotics for the number of real zeros of trigonometric polynomials with random dependent Gaussian coefficients and show that under mild conditions, the asymptotic behavior is the same as in the independent framework. In fact our proof goes beyond this framework and makes explicit the variance asymptotics of various models of random Gaussian polynomials. Though we use the Kac--Rice formula, we do not use the explicit closed formula for the second moment of the number of zeros, but we rather rely on intrinsic properties of the Kac--Rice density.
