Abstract
Let µ be a positive measure on the unit circle that is regular in the sense of Stahl, Totik, and Ullmann. Assume that in some subarc J, µ is absolutely continuous, while µ′ is positive and continuous. Let {φn} be the orthonormal polynomials for µ. We show that for appropriate ζn ∈ J, \({{\rm{\{ }}{{{\varphi _n}({\zeta _n}(1 + {\textstyle{z \over n}}))} \over {{\varphi _n}({\zeta _n})}}{\rm{\}}}_{n \ge 1}}\) is a normal family in compact subsets of ℂ. Using universality limits, we show that limits of subsequences have the form ez + C(ez − 1) for some constant C. Under additional conditions, we can set C = 0.
