Abstract

Inspired by the 1995 paper of Baake--Grimm--Pisani, we aim to explain the empirical observation that the distribution of Lee--Yang zeros corresponding to a one-dimensional Ising model appears to follow the gap labelling theorem. This follows by combining two main ingredients: first, the relation between the transfer matrix formalism for 1D Ising model and an ostensibly unrelated matrix formalism generating the Szegő recursion for orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle, and second, the gap labelling theorem for CMV matrices.
