Spectral properties of Jacobi matrices and sum rules of special form (Q2573494)

The present paper deals with certain problems for infinite Jacobi matrices \(J(\{a_n\},\{b_n\})\) which are compact perturbations of the free Jacobi matrix \(J_0\): \(\lim_{n\to\infty}(a_n-1)=\lim_{n\to\infty}b_n=0\). In this case, the essential spectrum \(\sigma_e(J)\) is \([-2,2]\) and the discrete spectrum \(\sigma_d(J)\) consists of two sequences \(\{x_j^{\pm}\}\) with \(x_j^-<-2\), \(x_j^+>2\) tending to \(\pm 2\) monotonically. A typical question that arises in the spectral theory of such matrices is the relation between the properties of the spectral measure of \(J\) and the asymptotic behavior of its entries. As a straightforward consequence of his main result applied to discrete Schrödinger operators \(J(\{1\},\{b_n\})\), the author proves the following. Corollary 1. Let for \(J(\{1\},\{b_n\})\), \(\{b_n\}\in\ell^{m+1}\) and \(\{b_{n+1}-b_n\}\in\ell^2\). Then \[ \int_{-2}^2 \log\sigma'(x)(4-x^2)^{m-1/2}\,dx>-\infty, \qquad \sum_j ({x_j^{\pm}}^2-4)^{m+1/2}<\infty. \]
