✦ Synopsis


The paper deals with Jacobi matrices with weights * k given by * k =k : (1+2 k ), where : # ( 1 2 , 1) and lim k 2 k =0. The main question studied here concerns when the spectrum of the operator J defined by the Jacobi matrix has absolutely continuous component covering the real line. A sufficient condition is given for a positive answer to the above question. The method used in the paper is based on a detailed analysis of generalized eigenvectors of J. In turn this analysis relies on the so-called grouping in blocks approach to a large product of the transfer matrices associated to J.

Let W be a unilateral weighted shift operator defined in l 2 by We n = 2* n e n+1 , where e n is the canonical basis in l 2 , * n # (0,
