Abstract: For an

n i m e s n

bounded matrix function

P h i

we study unitary interpolants

U

, i.e., unitary-valued functions

U

such that

h a t U (j) = h a t P h i (j)

,

j < 0

. We are looking for unitary interpolants

U

for which the Toeplitz operator

T_{U}

is Fredholm. We give a new approach based on superoptimal singular values and thematic factorizations. We describe Wiener--Hopf factorization indices of

U

in terms of superoptimal singular values of

P h i

and thematic indices of

P h i - F

, where

F

is a superoptimal approximation of

P h i

by bounded analytic matrix functions. The approach essentially relies on the notion of a monotone thematic factorization introduced in [AP]. In the last section we discuss hereditary properties of unitary interpolants. In particular, for matrix functions

P h i

of class

we study unitary interpolants

U

of class
