Abstract

A classical theorem of Szeg\H{o} states that for any probability measure μ=wdθ2π+μs\mu=w\frac{\mathrm{d}\theta}{2\pi}+\mu_s on the unit circle the polynomials are dense in L2(T,μ)L^2(\mathbb{T},\mu) if and only if log(w)L1(T)\log(w)\notin L^1(\mathbb{T}). A related question asks whether the monomials with exponents in some subset ΛN0\Lambda\subseteq \mathbb{N}_0 already span L2(T,μ)L^2(\mathbb{T},\mu) if log(w)L1(T)\log(w)\notin L^1(\mathbb{T}). A result by Olevskii and Ulanovskii gives an answer if μ\mu belongs to a class of absolutely continuous measures. We investigate the same question for Markoff measures.
