Approximation Results for Reflectionless Jacobi Matrices
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study spaces of reflectionless Jacobi matrices. The main theme is the following type of question: Given a reflectionless Jacobi matrix, is it possible to approximate it by other reflectionless and, typically, simpler Jacobi matrices of a special type? For example, can we approximate by periodic operators?

متن کاملReflectionless Herglotz Functions and Generalized Lyapunov Exponents
We study several related aspects of reflectionless Jacobi matrices. Our first set of results deals with the singular part of reflectionless measures. We then introduce and discuss Lyapunov exponents, density of states measures, and other related quantities in a general setting. This is related to the previous material because the density of states measures are reflectionless on certain sets.
متن کاملA note on reflectionless Jacobi matrices
The property that a Jacobi matrix is reflectionless is usually characterized either in terms of Weyl mfunctions or the vanishing of the real part of the boundary values of the diagonal matrix elements of the resolvent. We introduce a characterization in terms of stationary scattering theory (the vanishing of the reflection coefficients) and prove that this characterization is equivalent to the ...
متن کاملEquality of the Spectral and Dynamical Definitions of Reflection
For full-line Jacobi matrices, Schrödinger operators, and CMV matrices, we show that being reflectionless, in the sense of the well-known property of m-functions, is equivalent to a lack of reflection in the dynamics in the sense that any state that goes entirely to x = −∞ as t → −∞ goes entirely to x = ∞ as t → ∞. This allows us to settle a conjecture of Deift and Simon from 1983 regarding erg...
متن کاملUniqueness of Reflectionless Jacobi Matrices and the Denisov-rakhmanov Theorem
If a Jacobi matrix J is reflectionless on (−2, 2) and has a single an0 equal to 1, then J is the free Jacobi matrix an ≡ 1, bn ≡ 0. 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 an’s close to 1, then one assumption in the Denisov-Rakhmanov Theorem can be dropped. 1. Statemen...
