Part I of this paper deals with two-dimensional canonical systems $y'(x)=zJH(x)y(x)$, $x\in(a,b)$, whose Hamiltonian $H$ is non-negative and locally integrable, and where Weyl's limit point case takes place at both endpoints $a$ and $b$. We…

Let $W(z)$ be a $n\times n$ matrix polynomial with rational coefficients. Denote $C$ the spectral curve $\det \left( w\cdot{\bf 1}-W(z)\right) =0$. Under some natural assumptions about the structure of $W(z)$ we prove that certain…
