Abstract

We consider the class of bounded symmetric Jacobi matrices JJ with positive off-diagonal elements and complex diagonal elements. With each matrix JJ from this class, we associate the spectral data, which consists of a pair (ν,ψ)(\nu,\psi). Here ν\nu is the spectral measure of J=JJ|J|=\sqrt{J^*J} and ψ\psi is a phase function\textit{phase function} on the real line satisfying ψ1|\psi|\leq1 almost everywhere with respect to the measure ν\nu. Our main result is that the map from JJ to the pair (ν,ψ)(\nu,\psi) is a bijection between our class of Jacobi matrices and the set of all spectral data.
