Abstract: We prove a lower bound on the spacing of zeros of paraorthogonal polynomials on the unit circle, based on continuity of the underlying measure as measured by Hausdorff dimensions. We complement this with the analog of the result from arXiv:1011.3159 showing that clock spacing holds even for certain singular continuous measures.


Let \(\mu\) be an infinitely supported probability measure on the unit circle \(\partial\mathbb{D}\) and let \(\{\beta_n\}_{n=0}^{\infty}\) be a sequence of numbers satisfying \(|\beta_n|=1.\) Denote by \(\{\varphi_n\}_{n=0}^{\infty}\) and \(H_n^{(\beta_{n-1})}(z)=z\varphi_{n-1}(z)-\overline{\beta_{n-1}}\varphi^*_{n-1}(z)\) the orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle (OPUC) and the corresponding paraorthogonal polynomials (POPUC) [\textit{B. Simon} , Orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle. Part 1: Classical theory. Providence, RI: American Mathematical Society (AMS) (2005; Zbl 1082.42020)]. The zeros of \(H_n^{(\beta_{n-1})}\) are labelled for fixed \(e^{i\Theta}\in\partial\mathbb{D}\) in the following way: \[ \cdots<\theta_{-1}^{(n)}(\Theta)<\Theta\leq\theta_0^{(n)}(\Theta)<\cdots. \] The first main result (Theorem 1.1) contains two assertions: \begin{itemize} \item[i)] If \(\mu_{ac}\) is the component of \(\mu\) that is absolutely continuous w.r.t. Lebesgue measure on \(\partial\mathbb{D},\) then for \(\mu_{ac}\)-almost every \(z=e^{i\Theta}\) we have \[ \limsup_{n\to\infty} n(\theta_0^{(n)}(\Theta)-\theta_{-1}^{(n)}(\Theta))>0. \] \item[ii)] Fix \(\gamma>1,\) and let \[ A=\left\{e^{i\Theta}\in\partial\mathbb{D}\left|\liminf_{n\to\infty}n^{\gamma}\left(\theta_0^{(n)}(\Theta)-\theta_{-1}^{(n)}(\Theta)\right)\right.<\infty\right\}. \] Then the restricted measure \(\mu(A\cap\cdot)\) is supported on a set of Hausdorff dimension at most \(\frac{2}{1+\gamma}.\) \end{itemize} The second main result (Theorem 1.2) presents an analogue for POPUC of an example from \textit{J. Breuer}[ J. Approxim. Theory 163, 1478--1491 (2011; Zbl 1228.42028)], where a family of singular measures with clock behavior of zeros of orthogonal polynomials on the real line was constructed.
