Abstract
We establish universality limits for measures on the unit circle. Assume that μ is a regular measure on the unit circle in the sense of Stahl and Totik, and is absolutely continuous in an open arc containing some point z = e iθ. Assume, moreover, that μ′ is positive and continuous at z. then universality for μ holds at z, in the sense that the normalized reproducing kernel ~Kn(z, t) satisfies
, uniformly for a, b in compact subsets of the real line.
