Trace theorems of Szegő type in the singular case. (Q2386006)

The authors consider \(N\)-order Toeplitz matrices \(T_{N,f}\) generated by functions \(f\) defined on the unit circle of the form \(f(e^{i\theta})=| 1-e^{i\theta}| ^{2\alpha} f_1(e^{i\theta})\), where \(\theta\in (-1/2,1/2)\) and \(f_1\) is a smooth and strictly positive function on the unit circle. The main purpose is to derive asymptotic formulas for the diagonal entries and for the trace of the inverse \(T_{N,f}^{-1}\) as \(N\rightarrow \infty\). The obtained result distinguishes between the cases \(\alpha\in (-1/2,0)\) and \(\alpha\in (0,1/2)\). This paper can be seen as the continuation of the papers by the same authors [Integral Equations Oper. Theory 50, No. 1, 83--114 (2004; Zbl 1069.47027)] and [C. R., Math., Acad. Sci. Paris 335, No. 8, 705--710 (2002; Zbl 1012.65025)].
