Uniform asymptotics of Toeplitz determinants with Fisher-Hartwig singularities (Q2662970)

The author considers the asymptotic as \(n\rightarrow \infty\) of Toeplitz determinants \(D_n(f)\). The large \(n\) asymptotics of Toeplitz determinants were first studied in [\textit{G. Szegö}, Math. Ann. 76, 490--503 (1915; JFM 45.0518.02)]. They have been intensively studied over the last 70 years, and owe their relevance to applications to physical models. In this paper the author obtains an asymptotic formula for \(n\times n\) Toeplitz determinants as \(n\rightarrow \infty\), for non-negative symbols with any fixed number of Fisher-Hartwig singularities, which is uniform with respect to the location of the singularities. As an application, the author proves a conjecture by \textit{Y. V. Fyodorov} and \textit{J. P. Keating} [Philos. Trans. R. Soc. Lond., Ser. A, Math. Phys. Eng. Sci. 372, No. 2007, Article ID 20120503, 32 p. (2014; Zbl 1330.82028)] regarding moments of averages of the characteristic polynomial of the Circular Unitary Ensemble.
