Course/Module description:
Szego's Theorems deal with the asymptotics of Toeplitz determinants and are of central importance in various areas of analysis. The course will survey several proofs of the two theorems and in particular various applications in random matrix theory, statistical mechanics, orthogonal polynomials and spectral theory.
Course/Module aims:
To study Szego's Theorems, their proofs and some of their applications.
Learning outcomes - On successful completion of this module, students should be able to:
to quote Szego's Theorems, to prove them and to describe applications.
