Abstract: Let

K

be a non-polar compact subset of

m a t h b b R

and

m u_{K}

denote the equilibrium measure of

K

. Furthermore, let

P_{n} l e f t (c d o t, m u_{K} i g h t)

be the

n

-th monic orthogonal polynomial for

m u_{K}

. It is shown that

| P_{n} l e f t (c d o t, m u_{K} i g h t) |_{L^{2} (m u_{K})}

, the Hilbert norm of

P_{n} l e f t (c d o t, m u_{K} i g h t)

in

L^{2} (m u_{K})

, is bounded below by

m a t h r m C a p (K)^{n}

for each

n i n m a t h b b N

. A sufficient condition is given for

d i s p l a y s t y l e l e f t (| P_{n} l e f t (c d o t; m u_{K} i g h t) |_{L^{2} (m u_{K})} / m a t h r m C a p (K)^{n} i g h t)_{n = 1}^{i} n f t y

to be unbounded. More detailed results are presented for sets which are union of finitely many intervals.

Review text

Let \(K\) be a compact subset of the real line with positive logarithmic capacity \(\mathrm{Cap}(K)\) and let \(\mu_{K}\) be the equilibrium measure of \(K\). For any positive integer \(n\), let \[ W_{n}(\mu_{K})=\frac{||P_{n,\mu_{K}}||_{L^{2}(\mu_{K})}}{\mathrm{Cap}(K)^{n}}, \] where \(P_{n,\mu_{K}}\) is the \(n\)-th monic orthogonal polynomial for \(\mu_{K}\). In the paper under review, the author studies the behavior of \(W_{n}(\mu_{K})\). The main result of the paper states that \[ W_{n}(\mu_{K})\geq 1, \] for all \(n\). To prove the above inequality, the author considers inverse images of admissible polynomials. A polynomial \(T_{N}\) of degree \(N\) having \(N\) real and simple zeros is called admissible if \(|T_{N}(y_{i})|\geq 1\), \(i=1,2,...,(N-1)\), where \(y_{1}\), \(y_{2},...,y_{N-1}\) are the critical points of \(T_{N}\).
