Sb. Damelin et Abj. Kuijlaars, The support of the equilibrium measure in the presence of a monomial external field on [-1,1], T AM MATH S, 351(11), 1999, pp. 4561-4584
The support of the equilibrium measure associated with an external field of
the form Q(x) = cx 2(m + 1), x is an element of [ 1; 1], with c > 0 and m
a positive integer is investigated. It is shown that the support consists o
f at most two intervals. This resolves a question of Deift, Kriecherbauer a
nd McLaughlin.
