Summary

This is a study of entire functions whose coefficients are independent random variables. When the space of such functions is symmetric it is shown that independence of the coefficients alone is sufficient to ensure that almost all such functions will, for large z, be large except in certain small neighbourhoods of the zeros called pits. In each pit the function takes every not too large value and these pits have a certain uniform distribution.
