A spectral Szego theorem on the real line

Abstract

We characterize even measures $\mu=wdx+\mu_s$ on the real line with finite entropy integral $\int_{R} \frac{\log w(t)}{1+t^2}dt>-\infty$ in terms of $2\times 2$ Hamiltonian generated by $\mu$ in the sense of inverse spectral theory. As a corollary, we obtain criterion for spectral measure of Krein string to have converging logarithmic integral.
