Abstract: If a Jacobi matrix $J$ is reflectionless on $(-2,2)$ and has a single $a_{n_0}$ equal to 1, then $J$ is the free Jacobi matrix $a_{n}equiv1$, $b_{n}equiv0$. I'll discuss this result and its generalization to arbitrary sets and present several applications, including the following: if a Jacobi matrix has some portion of its $a_n$'s close to 1, then one assumption in the Denisov-Rakhmanov Theorem can be dropped.
