LETTER TO THE EDITOR

We analyse the density of roots of random polynomials where each complex coefficient is constructed of a random modulus and a fixed, deterministic phase. The density of roots is shown to possess a singular component only in the case for which the phases increase linearly with the index of coefficients. This means that, contrary to earlier belief, eigenvectors of a typical quantum chaotic system with some antiunitary symmetry will not display a clustering curve in the stellar representation. Moreover, a class of time-reverse invariant quantum systems is shown, for which spectra display fluctuations characteristic of orthogonal ensemble, while eigenvectors confer to predictions of unitary ensemble.
