Scattering theory for CMV matrices: uniqueness, Helson--Szegő and Strong SzegŐ theorems

We develop a scattering theory for CMV matrices, similar to the Faddeev--Marchenko theory. A necessary and sufficient condition is obtained for the uniqueness of the solution of the inverse scattering problem. We also obtain two sufficient conditions for the uniqueness, which are connected with the Helson--Szeg\H o and the Strong Szeg\H o theorems. The first condition is given in terms of the boundedness of a transformation operator associated to the CMV matrix. In the second case this operator has a determinant. In both cases we characterize Verblunsky parameters of the CMV matrices, corresponding spectral measures and scattering functions.

Asymptotics of the best polynomial approximation of $|x|^p$ and of the best Laurent polynomial approximation of $\sgn(x)$ on two symmetric intervals

We present a new method that allows us to get a direct proof of the classical Bernstein asymptotics for the error of the best uniform polynomial approximation of $|x|^p$ on two symmetric intervals. Note, that in addition, we get asymptotics for the polynomials themselves under a certain renormalization. Also, we solve a problem on asymptotics of the best approximation of $\sgn(x)$ on $[-1,-a]\cup[a,1]$ by Laurent polynomials.

Faddeev-Marchenko scattering for CMV matrices and the Strong Szego Theorem

B. Simon proved the existence of the wave operators for the CMV matrices with Szego class Verblunsky coefficients, and therefore the existence of the scattering function. Generally, there is no hope to restore a CMV matrix when we start from the scattering function, in particular, because it does not contain any information about the (possible) singular measure. Our main point of interest is the solution of the inverse scattering problem (the heart of the Faddeev--Marchenko theory), that is, to give necessary and sufficient conditions on a certain class of CMV matrices such that the restriction of this correspondence (from a matrix to the scattering function) is one to one. In this paper we show that the main questions on inverse scattering can be solved with the help of three important classical results: Adamyan-Arov-Krein (AAK) Theory, Helson-Szego Theorem and Strong Szego Limit Theorem. Each of these theorem states the equivalence of certain conditions. Actually, to each theorem we add one more equivalent condition related to the CMV inverse scattering problem.

On the Berg--Chen--Ismail theorem and the Nevanlinna-Pick problem

In 2002 C. Berg, Y. Chen, and M. Ismail found a nice relation between the determinancy of the Hamburger moment problem and asymptotic behavior of the smallest eigenvalues of the corresponding Hankel matrices. We investigate whether an analog of this statement holds for the Nevanlinna--Pick interpolation problem.

CMV matrices with asymptotically constant coefficients. Szegö over Blaschke class, Scattering Theory

We develop a modern extended scattering theory for CMV matrices with asymptotically constant Verblunsky coefficients. We demonstrate that an orthonormal system in a certain "weighted'' Hilbert space, which we call the Fadeev-Marchenko (FM) space, behaves asymptotically as the system in the standard (free) case. The duality between the two types of Hardy subspaces in it plays the key role in the proof of all asymptotics involved. We show that the traditional (Faddeev-Marchenko) condition is too restrictive to define the class of CMV matrices for which there exists a unique scattering representation. The main results are: 1) Szegö-Blaschke class: the class of twosided CMV matrices acting in $l^2$, whose spectral density satisfies the Szegö condition and whose point spectrum the Blaschke condition, corresponds precisely to the class where the scattering problem can be posed and solved. That is, to a given CMV matrix of this class, one can associate the scattering data and related to them the FM space. The CMV matrix corresponds to the multiplication operator in this space, and the orthonormal basis in it (corresponding to the standard basis in $l^2$) behaves asymptotically as the basis associated with the free system. 2) $A_2$-Carleson class: from the point of view of the scattering problem, the most natural class of CMV matrices is that one in which a) the scattering data determine the matrix uniquely and b) the associated Gelfand- Levitan- Marchenko transformation operators are bounded. Necessary and sufficient conditions for this class can be given in terms of an $A_2$ kind condition for the density of the absolutely continuous spectrum and a Carleson kind condition for the discrete spectrum. Similar close to the optimal conditions are given directly in terms of the scattering data.

On Scattering for CMV Matrices

Adamjan-Arov (Lax--Phillips) model space is considered as a scattering representation space for a CMV matrix in context of an extended Marchenko--Faddeev scattering theory. That is, there exists a basis in which the multiplication by independent variable is a CMV matrix. This basis as well as Verblunski coefficients are computed explicitly in terms of Nehari interpolation. Asymptotically the Verblynski coefficients go to zero. Moreover, relations between the basis and wandering subspaces are established. Transformation from scattering representation to spectral representation is given.

Finite difference operators with a finite--band spectrum

We study the correspondence between almost periodic difference operators and algebraic curves (spectral surfaces). An especial role plays the parametrization of the spectral curves in terms of, so called, branching divisors. The multiplication operator by the covering map with respect to the natural basis in the Hardy space on the surface is the $2d+1$--diagonal matrix; the $d$--root of the product of the Green functions (counting their multiplicities) with respect to all infinite points on the surface is the symbol of the shift operator. We demonstrate an application of our general construction to a particular covering, which generate widely discussed almost periodic CMV matrices. We discuss an important theme: covering of one spectral surface by another one and related to this operation transformations on the set of multidiagonal operators (so called Renormalization Equations). We proof several new results dealing with Renormalization Equations for periodic Jacobi matrices (polynomial coverings) and the case of a rational double covering.

Inverse scattering problem for a special class of canonical systems and non-linear Fourier integral. Part I: asymptotics of eigenfunctions

An original approach to the inverse scattering for Jacobi matrices was suggested in a recent paper by Volberg-Yuditskii. The authors considered quite sophisticated spectral sets (including Cantor sets of positive Lebesgue measure), however they did not take into account the mass point spectrum. This paper follows similar lines for the continuous setting with an absolutely continuous spectrum on the half-axis and a pure point spectrum on the negative half-axis satisfying the Blaschke condition. This leads us to the solution of the inverse scattering problem for a class of canonical systems that generalizes the case of Sturm-Liouville (Schrödinger) operator.

On a new asymptotic problem in the scattering setting

In recent works we considered an asymptotic problem for orthogonal polynomials when a Szegö measure on the unit circumference is perturbed by an arbitrary Blaschke sequence of point masses outside the unit disk. In the current work we consider a similar problem in the scattering setting.

Limit periodic Jacobi matrices with a singular continuous spectrum and the renormalization of periodic matrices

Our main result asserts that a certain natural non-linear operator on Jacobi matrices built by a hyperbolic polynomial with real Julia set is a contraction in operator norm if the polynomial is sufficiently hyperbolic. This allows us to get for such polynomials the solution of a problem of Bellissard, in other words, to prove the limit periodicity of the limit Jacobi matrix. This fact does not require the iteration of the same fixed polynomial, and therefore it gives a wide class of limit periodic Jacobi matrices with singular continuous spectrum.

Asymptotics of orthogonal polynomials beyond the scope of Szego's theorem

First we give here a simple proof of a remarkable result of Videnskii and Shirokov: let $B$ be a Blaschke product with $n$ zeros, then there exists an outer function $ϕ, ϕ(0)=1$, such that $\|(Bϕ)'\| \leq C n$, where $C$ is an absolute constant. Then we apply this result to a certain problem of finding the asymptotic of orthogonal polynomials.

We present a point of view on results of the paper of Geronimo and Johnson [Comm. Math, Phys. 193 (1998)] that allow infinitely dimensional generalization up to the case when spectrum is supported on a Cantor set of positive Lebesgue measure.

On generalized sum rules for Jacobi matrices

This work is in a stream initiated by a paper of Killip and Simon [Ann. of Math. (2003)]. Using methods of Functional Analysis and the classical Szegö Theorem we prove sum rule identities in a very general form. Then, we apply the result to obtain new asymptotics for orthonormal polynomials.

Zeros of polynomials orthogonal on two arcs of the unit circle

In this paper we study polynomials $(P_n)$ which are hermitian orthogonal on two arcs of the unit circle with respect to weight functions which have square root singularities at the end points of the arcs, an arbitrary nonvanishing trigonometric polynomial $\mathcal{A}$ in the denominator and possible point measures at the zeros of $\mathcal{A}$. First we give an explicit representation of the orthogonal polynomials $P_n$ in terms of elliptic functions. With the help of this representation for sufficiently large $n$ the number of zeros of $P_n$ which are in an $ε$-neighbourhood of each of the arcs are determined. Finally it is shown that the accumulation points of the zeros of $(P_n)$ which are not attracted to the support lie on a Jordan arc running within the unit disk from one of the arcs to the other one. The accumulation points lie dense on the Jordan arc if the harmonic measures of the arcs are irrational. If the harmonic measures are rational then there is only a finite set of accumulation points on the Jordan arc.
