%0 Journal Article %T Weak convergence of CD kernels and applications %A Barry Simon %J Mathematics %D 2007 %I arXiv %X We prove a general result on equality of the weak limits of the zero counting measure, $d\nu_n$, of orthogonal polynomials (defined by a measure $d\mu$) and $\frac{1}{n} K_n(x,x) d\mu(x)$. By combining this with Mate--Nevai and Totik upper bounds on $n\lambda_n(x)$, we prove some general results on $\int_I \frac{1}{n} K_n(x,x) d\mu_s\to 0$ for the singular part of $d\mu$ and $\int_I |\rho_E(x) - \frac{w(x)}{n} K_n(x,x)| dx\to 0$, where $\rho_E$ is the density of the equilibrium measure and $w(x)$ the density of $d\mu$. %U http://arxiv.org/abs/0707.2578v1
