Abstract

We construct a family of measures on R that are purely singular with respect to the Lebesgue measure, and yet exhibit universal sine kernel asymptotics in the bulk. The measures are best described via their Jacobi recursion coefficients: these are sparse perturbations of the recursion coefficients corresponding to Chebyshev polynomials of the second kind. We prove convergence of the renormalized Christoffel-Darboux kernel to the sine kernel for any sufficiently sparse decaying perturbation.
