Truncated Circle Moment Bridge

Abstract

Every positive semidefinite Hermitian truncated Toeplitz moment vector has a finite atomic representing measure on the complex unit circle.

Theorem 1.1 (Truncated positive Toeplitz moments have a circle representation).

Commentary.

A Gram factorization realizes the truncated Toeplitz matrix as inner products of a finite vector orbit. The one-step shift descends through the Gram kernel and completes to a unitary operator.

The commuting self-adjoint real and imaginary parts admit a joint orthogonal eigenspace decomposition. Their joint spectral points lie on the complex unit circle and the squared orbit coefficients form the required finite atomic measure.
