Given a measure $\mu$ on the unit sphere $\partial\mathbb{B}^d$ in $\mathbb{C}^d$ with Lebesgue decomposition ${\rm d} \mu = w \, {\rm d} \sigma + {\rm d} \mu_s$, with respect to the rotation-invariant Lebesgue measure $\sigma$ on $\partial…
We introduce a theory of orthogonal polynomials on the unit sphere of the quaternions based on the notion of a $q$-positive measure (which originated in a work of Alpay, Colombo, the second author and Sabadini). The results we extend to…
This paper provides a complete proof of Simon-Lukic conjecture for orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle. For a probability measure $d\mu = w(\theta) \frac{d\theta}{2\pi} + d\mu_s$ with Verblunsky coefficients…
Let p(t) be a trigonometric polynomial, non-negative on the unit circle. We say that a measure \sigma belongs to a polynomial Szego class, if the logarithm of its density is summable over the circle with the weight p(t). For the associated…
Let $\mu$ be a non-trivial probability measure on the unit circle $\partial\bbD$, $w$ the density of its absolutely continuous part, $\alpha_n$ its Verblunsky coefficients, and $\Phi_n$ its monic orthogonal polynomials. In this paper we…
The classical Szeg\H{o}-Verblunsky theorem relates integrability of the logarithm of the absolutely continuous part of a probability measure on the circle to square summability of the sequence of recurrence coefficients for the orthogonal…

In this survey article, we review some results and conjectures related to orthogonal polynomials on Cantor sets. The main purpose of this paper is to emphasize the role of equilibrium measures in order to have a general theory of…
Let p be a trigonometric polynomial, nonnegative on the unit circle $\mathbb{T}$. We say that a measure $\sigma$ on $\mathbb{T}$ belongs to the polynomial Szego class, if $d\sigma=sigma'_{ac}d\theta+d\sigma_s$, $\sigma_s$ is singular, and…
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 $\phi, \phi(0)=1$, such that $\|(B\phi)'\| \leq C n$, where $C$ is an…
We consider polynomials $P_n$ orthogonal with respect to the weight $J_{\nu}$ on $[0,\infty)$, where $J_{\nu}$ is the Bessel function of order $\nu$. Asheim and Huybrechs considered these polynomials in connection with complex Gaussian…
The $n$-th Christoffel function for a point $z_0\in\mathbb C$ and a finite measure $\mu$ supported on a Jordan arc $\Gamma$ is \[ \lambda_n(\mu,z_0)=\inf\left\{\int_\Gamma |P|^2d\mu\mid P\text{ is a polynomial of degree at most }n\text{ and…
We give an asymptotic upper bound as $n\to\infty$ for the entropy integral $$E_n(w)= -\int p_n^2(x)\log (p_n^2(x))w(x)dx,$$ where $p_n$ is the $n$th degree orthonormal polynomial with respect to a weight $w(x)$ on $[-1,1]$ which belongs to…
The main aim of this short paper is to advertize the Koosis theorem in the mathematical community, especially among those who study orthogonal polynomials. We (try to) do this by proving a new theorem about asymptotics of orthogonal…
Consider random polynomials of the form $G_n = \sum_{i=0}^n \xi_i p_i$, where the $\xi_i$ are i.i.d.\ non-degenerate complex random variables, and $\{p_i\}$ is a sequence of orthonormal polynomials with respect to a regular measure $\tau$…
We provide a representation in terms of certain canonical functions for a sequence of polynomials orthogonal with respect to a weight that is strictly positive and analytic on the unit circle. These formulas yield a complete asymptotic…

We introduce the Szeg\"o class, Sz(E), for an arbitrary Parreau-Widom set E in R and study the dynamics of its elements under the left shift. When the direct Cauchy theorem holds on C\E, we show that to each J in Sz(E) there is a unique…
