Let $\fre\subset\bbR$ be a finite union of disjoint closed intervals. We study measures whose essential support is $\fre$ and whose discrete eigenvalues obey a 1/2-power condition. We show that a Szeg\H{o} condition is equivalent to \[…

Let $\fre\subset\bbR$ be a finite union of $\ell+1$ disjoint closed intervals and denote by $\omega_j$ the harmonic measure of the $j$ leftmost bands. The frequency module for $\fre$ is the set of all integral combinations of $\omega_1,...,…

Let $\frak{e}\subset\mathbb{R}$ be a finite union of disjoint closed intervals. In the study of OPRL with measures whose essential support is $\frak{e}$, a fundamental role is played by the isospectral torus. In this paper, we use a…

We continue studying the connection between Jacobi matrices defined on a tree and multiple orthogonal polynomials (MOPs) that was discovered previously by the authors. In this paper, we consider Angelesco systems formed by two analytic…

For a two-parameter family of Jacobi matrices exhibiting first-order spectral phase transitions, we prove discreteness of the spectrum in the positive real axis when the parameters are in one of the transition boundaries. To this end we…

We are interested in the phenomenon of the essential spectrum instability for a class of unbounded (block) Jacobi matrices. We give a series of sufficient conditions for the matrices from certain classes to have a discrete spectrum on a…

A review of Finite Gap Jacobi Matrices.

A Jacobi matrix with $a_n\to 1$, $b_n\to 0$ and spectral measure $\nu'(x)dx + d\nu_{sing}(x)$ satisfies the Szeg\H o condition if $\int_{0}^\pi \ln \bigl[ \nu'(2\cos\theta) \bigr] d\theta$ is finite. We prove that if $a_n = 1 + \frac…

We study spectral properties of unbounded Jacobi matrices with periodically modulated or blended entries. Our approach is based on uniform asymptotic analysis of generalized eigenvectors. We determine when the studied operators are…

We use a classical result of Gollinski and Ibragimov to prove an analog of the strong Szego theorem for Jacobi matrices on $l^2(\N)$. In particular, we consider the class of Jacobi matrices with conditionally summable parameter sequences…

The discrete spectrum of complex Jacobi matrices that are compact perturbations of the discrete laplacian is under consideration. The rate of stabilization for the the matrix entries which provides finiteness of the discrete spectrum and is…

This work deals with decay bounds for Green matrices and generalized eigenvectors of block Jacobi matrices when the real part of the spectral parameter lies in an infinite gap of the operator's essential spectrum. We consider the cases of…

We study spectrum inclusion regions for complex Jacobi matrices which are compact perturbations of real periodic Jacobi matrices. The condition sufficient for the lack of discrete spectrum for such matrices is given

We obtain bounds for the spectrum and for the total width of the spectral gaps for Jacobi matrices on $\ell^2(\Z)$ of the form $(H\psi)_n= a_{n-1}\psi_{n-1}+b_n\psi_n+a_n\psi_{n+1}$, where $a_n=a_{n+q}$ and $b_n=b_{n+q}$ are periodic…

We provide necessary and sufficient conditions for a Jacobi matrix to produce orthogonal polynomials with Szeg\H{o} asymptotics off the real axis. A key idea is to prove the equivalence of Szeg\H{o} asymptotics and of Jost asymptotics for…

We prove that dynamically defined Jacobi and CMV matrices associated with generic continuous sampling functions have all gaps predicted by the Gap Labelling Theorem open. We also give a mechanism for generic gap opening for quasi-periodic…

We present an unified framework to identify spectra of Jacobi matrices. We give applications to long-standing conjecture of Chihara concerning one-quarter class of orthogonal polynomials, to the conjecture posed by Roehner and Valent…

We apply the methods of classical approximation theory (extreme properties of polynomials) to study the essential support $\Sigma_{ac}$ of the absolutely continuous spectrum of Jacobi matrices. First, we prove an upper bound on the measure…

The Jacobi matrices with bounded elements whose spectrum of multiplicity 2 is separated from its simple spectrum and contains an interval of absolutely continuous spectrum are considered. A new type of spectral data, which are analogous for…
