On a conjecture of Widom

Abstract

We prove a conjecture of Widom (2002 Int. Math. Res. Not. 455–64 (Preprint math/0108008)) about the reality of eigenvalues of certain infinite matrices arising in asymptotic analysis of large Toeplitz determinants. As a byproduct, we obtain a new proof of Okounkov's formula for the (determinantal) correlation functions of the Schur measures on partitions.
