The expected norm of random polynomials

The results of this paper concern the expected norm of random polynomials on the boundary of the unit disc (equivalently of random trigonometric polynomials on the interval ). Specifically, for a random polynomial

This complements results of Fielding in the case, Newman and Byrnes in the case, and Littlewood et al. in the case.
