Asymptotics of block Toeplitz determinants with piecewise continuous symbols (2307.00825v2)

Published 3 Jul 2023 in math.FA, math-ph, and math.MP

Abstract: We determine the asymptotics of the block Toeplitz determinants $\det T_n(\phi)$ as $n\to\infty$ for $N\times N$ matrix-valued piecewise continuous functions $\phi$ with a finitely many jumps under mild additional conditions. In particular, we prove that $$ \det T_n(\phi) \sim Gn n\Omega E\quad {\rm as}\ n\to \infty, $$ where $G$, $E$, and $\Omega$ are constants that depend on the matrix symbol $\phi$ and are described in our main results. Our approach is based on a new localization theorem for Toeplitz determinants, a new method of computing the Fredholm index of Toeplitz operators with piecewise continuous matrix-valued symbols, and other operator theoretic methods. As an application of our results, we consider piecewise continuous symbols that arise in the study of entanglement entropy in quantum spin chain models.
