We prove locally uniform spacing for the zeros of orthogonal polynomials on the real line under weak conditions (Jacobi parameters approach the free ones and are of bounded variation). We prove that for ergodic discrete Schrödinger operators, Poisson behavior implies a positive Lyapunov exponent. Both results depend on a priori bounds on eigenvalue spacings for which we provide several proofs. © 2007 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.

Fine Structure of the Zeros of Orthogonal Polynomials: A Progress Report
We consider the asymptotics of zeros of OPRL and POPUC as n → ∞, focusing on the structure on a scale in x of order 1/n. We discuss three recent results (on Poisson behavior in the random case, clock…
Fine Structure of the Zeros of Orthogonal Polynomials: A Review
Zeros of orthogonal polynomials have had a fascination at least since Gauss’ discovery that optimal quadrature for the Ftiemann integral on [-I, 11 involves the zeros of the Legendre polynomials. A…
