We look at applications to the problem when the Möbius function is independent of the sequence induced by a bounded construction. Interest in the subject matter of this paper is related to the following observation. Bounded constructions of rank 1, under the condition that all their nonzero powers are ergodic, have nontrivial weak limits of powers. This implies that the powers of the constructions are disjoint (in the sense of [1]) and, in view of the results in [2], this results in bounded constructions being independent of the Möbius function. Thus, the problem of disjointness of powers of transformations, which had previously been regarded by specialists as a problem within the framework of self-joining theory, has an interesting application.

We obtain a strong asymptotic formula for the leading coefficient α n ( n ) of a degree n polynomial q n ( z ; n ) orthonormal on a system of intervals on the real line with respect to a varying weight. The weight depends on n as e − 2 nQ ( x ) , where Q ( x ) is a polynomial and corresponds to the “hard-edge case”. The formula in Theorem 1 is quite similar to Widom’s classical formula for a weight independent of n . In some sense, Widom’s formulas are still true for a varying weight and are thus universal. As a consequence of the asymptotic formula we have that α n ( n ) e − nw Q oscillates as n → ∞ and, in a typical case, fills an interval (here w Q is the equilibrium constant in the external field Q ).","PeriodicalId":37924,"journal":{"name":"Transactions of the Moscow Mathematical Society","volume":"73 1","pages":"139-159"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2013-03-21","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"60626700","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
