Fine structure of the zeros of orthogonal polynomials, I. A tale of two pictures

Barry Simon

Abstract

Mhaskar-Saff found a kind of universal behavior for the bulk structure of the zeros of orthogonal polynomials for large $n$. Motivated by two plots, we look at the finer structure for the case of random Verblunsky coefficients and for what we call the BLS condition: ${\alpha }_n=C{b}^n+O((b\mathrm{\Delta }{)}^n)$. In the former case, we describe results of Stoiciu. In the latter case, we prove asymptotically equal spacing for the bulk of zeros.
