| contents | We explore the connection between two seemingly distant fields: the set of cyclic functions $f$ in a Hilbert space of analytic functions over the unit disc $\D$, on the one hand, and the families of orthogonal polynomials for a weight on the unit circle $\T$ (OPUC), on the other. This link is established by so-called Optimal Polynomial Approximants (OPA) to $1/f$, that is, polynomials $p_n$ minimizing the norm of $1-p_nf$, among all polynomials $p_n$ of degree up to a given $n$.
Here, we focus on the particular case of the Hardy space, and an electrostatic interpretation of the zeros of those OPA (and thus, of the corresponding OPUC) is studied. We find the electrostatic laws explaining the position of such zeros for a reduced but significant class of examples. This represents the first step towards a research plan proposed over a decade ago to understand zeros of OPA through their potential theoretic properties. |
