Abstract
This paper complements the recent investigation of [4] on the asymptotic behavior of polynomials orthogonal over the interior of an analytic Jordan curve \(L\). We study the specific case of \(L=\{z= w-1 +(w-1)^{-1},\ |w|=R\}\), for some \(R>2\), providing an example that exhibits the new features discovered in [4], and for which the asymptotic behavior of the orthogonal polynomials is established over the entire domain of orthogonality. Surprisingly, this variation of the classical example of the ellipse turns out to be quite sophisticated. After properly normalizing the corresponding orthonormal polynomials \(p_n, n=0,1,\ldots \), and on a critical subregion of the orthogonality domain, a subsequence \(\{p_{n_k}\}\) converges if and only if \(\log _{\mu ^4}(n_k)\) converges modulo 1 (\(\mu \) being an important quantity associated to \(L\)). As a consequence, the limiting points of the sequence \(\{p_n\}\) form a one parameter family of functions, the range of the parameter being the interval \([0,1)\). The polynomials \(p_n\) are much influenced by a certain integrand function, the explained behavior being the result of this integrand having a nonisolated singularity that is a cluster point of poles. The nature of this singularity arises purely from geometric considerations, as opposed to the more common situation where the critical singularities come from the orthogonality weight.

Notes
If \(z\in \Sigma _p, p\ge 2\), the first singularities are also finitely many poles, but they have a total multiplicity larger than \(1\), and although this certainly leads to a better estimate than (5), that estimate is essentially pointwise, unless more is known about the particularities of the orthogonality domain.
