From local to global asymptotic behaviour of orthogonal polynomials
Let $\{\phi^*_n\}$ be the sequence of reflected orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle $\partial \mathbb{D}$ generated by a measure $\mu$ of Szeg\H{o} class, and let $D_{\mu}$ be the Szeg\H{o} function of $\mu$. We prove the uniform Ces\`aro asymptotics $$ \sup_{z \in \Gamma_\zeta}\Biggl(\frac{1}{n}\sum_{k = 0}^{n-1}\Bigl||\phi_k^*(z) D_{\mu}(z)|^2 - 1\Bigr|\Biggr) \to 0, \qquad n \to \infty, $$ for almost all Stolz angles $\Gamma_{\zeta}$, $\zeta\in \partial \mathbb{D}$. This extends a well-known asymptotic result of M\'at\'e, Nevai, and Totik (1991) from the local scale $O(1/n)$ near $\partial \mathbb{D}$ to the global scale $O(1)$. We also study asymptotic behavior of arguments of orthogonal polynomials and extend a classical theorem due to Grenander and Szeg\H{o} using a new technique. As an application, we derive global asymptotic results for polynomial reproducing kernels under various assumptions on the orthogonality measure.
