Large degree asymptotics of orthogonal polynomials with respect to an oscillatory weight on a bounded interval

Abstract: We consider polynomials

p_{n}^{o m e g a} (x)

that are orthogonal with respect to the oscillatory weight

w (x) = e^{i o m e g a x}

on

[- 1, 1]

, where

o m e g a > 0

is a real parameter. A first analysis of

p_{n}^{o m e g a} (x)

for large values of

o m e g a

was carried out in connection with complex Gaussian quadrature rules with uniform good properties in

o m e g a

. In this contribution we study the existence, asymptotic behavior and asymptotic distribution of the roots of

p_{n}^{o m e g a} (x)

in the complex plane as

n o i n f t y

. The parameter

o m e g a

grows with

n

linearly. The tools used are logarithmic potential theory and the

S

-property, together with the Riemann--Hilbert formulation and the Deift--Zhou steepest descent method.
