Abstract

Let μ\mu be a probability measure on the unit circle with Verblunsky coefficients α\alpha. Lukic conjectured that a weighted entropy condition with finitely many critical points is equivalent to a decomposition of α\alpha into components localized at those points. We give a counterexample for two critical points of multiplicity three, found by GPT-5.6. The construction uses two phase modes with common power-decay exponent 3/203/20. The sequence admits the Lukic's decomposition conditions, but its weighted entropy for the corresponding two-point weight equals -\infty.
