Abstract

An identity of Szego, and a volume calculation, heuristically suggest a simple expression for the distribution of Verblunsky coefficients with respect to the (normalized) exponential of the S1 trace of the Gaussian free field. This heuristic expression is not quite correct. A proof of the correct formula has been found by Chhaibi and Najnudel (2019). Their proof uses random matrix theory and overcomes many difficult technical issues. In addition to presenting the Szego perspective, we show that the Chhaibi and Najnudel theorem implies a family of combinatorial identities (for moments of measures) which are of intrinsic interest.
