Abstract
In this paper, we consider a random entire function of the form where is a sequence of independent Steinhaus random variables, is the a sequence of independent standard complex Gaussian random variables, and a sequence of numbers is such that and We investigate asymptotic estimates of the probability has no zeros inside as outside of some set E of finite logarithmic measure, i.e., . The obtained asymptotic estimates for the probability of the absence of zeros for entire Gaussian functions are in a certain sense the best possible result. Furthermore, we give an answer to an open question of A. Nishry for such random functions.

1. Introduction: Notations and Preliminaries
One of the problems of random functions is investigation of value distribution of such functions and also the asymptotic properties of the probability of the absence of zeros in a disc (“hole probability”). These problems were considered in the papers of J. E. Littlewood and A. C. Offord [1,2,3,4,5,6]; M. Sodin and B. Tsirelson [7,8,9]; Yu. Peres and B. Virag [10]; P. V. Filevych and M. P. Mahola [11,12,13]; M. Sodin [14,15]; F. Nazarov, M. Sodin, and A. Volberg [16,17]; M. Krishnapur [18]; A. Nishry [19,20,21,22,23,24,25]; and many others [26].
So, in [9] they considered a random entire function of the form
where are independent complex valued random variables defined on the Steinhaus probability space that is , P is the Lebesgue measure on and is the -algebra of Lebesgue measurable subsets of .
We denote by the class of sequences of independent random complex-valued variables with standard Gaussian distribution in the complex plane, i.e., this is the distribution with the density function of the form
Let be the zeros of of the function of form (1). For let us denote as the counting function of zeros of the function in the disk Then [9] for any and all the following inequality holds
where the constant depends only on Furthermore, in [9] it was investigated the probability of absence of zeros of the function
where In particular, it was proved in [9] that there exist constants such that
Furthermore, in [9] the authors put the following question: Does the limit exist?
We find the answer to this question in [20]. For the function it was proved that
Let be some compact such that . In [19], it was proved that if all of there exists such that must vanish somewhere in the disc
For the function of the form (1) one can fix the disc of radius r and ask for the asymptotic behaviour of as . So in [18] it was proved that for any , we obtain
Very large deviations of zeros of function (1) were also considered in [17]. There we find such a relation
In the papers [21,23] an Gaussian entire functions of the following general form
were considered, where , is a sequence of the independent standard Gaussian random variables. For there exists [21,23] a set of finite logarithmic measure () such that
for all , where Remark [22], that there is a Gaussian entire function and a set E of infinite Lebesgue’s measure such that
that is, the finiteness of the Lebesgue measure of the exceptional set in the above statement is a necessary condition.
Similar results for Gaussian analytic functions in the unit disc can be found in [10,15,18,23,27].
Furthermore, in [23] (p. 119) they formulated the following question: Is the error term in inequality (2) optimal for a regular sequence of coefficients ? In this paper, we obtain instead of inequalities (2) the following asymptotic estimates
in the case of general coefficients , , such that , However, this inequality is proved for the functions of the form
Here, is a sequence of the independent random variables uniformly distributed on , . We prove that there exists a set E of finite logarithmic measure such that inequalities (3) hold.
An earlier version of the main statement of this paper (Theorem 5) is available in our preprint [28] and was obtained for random entire functions of the form
However, the proof in the preprint [28] contains gaps in reasoning.

So, we proved that first term dominants the sum of all the other terms inside , i.e.,
If A occurs then the function has no zeros inside . Now we find a lower bound for the probability of the event A.
