Using the results on the $1/n$-expansion of the Verblunsky coefficients for a class of polynomials orthogonal on the unit circle with $n$ varying weight, we prove that the local eigenvalue statistic for unitary matrix models is independent of the form of the potential, determining the matrix model. Our proof is applicable to the case of four times differentiable potentials and of supports, consisting of one interval.
We give a proof of universality in the bulk of spectrum of unitary matrix models, assuming that the potential is globally $C^{2}$ and locally $C^{3}$ function. The proof is based on the determinant formulas for correlation functions in terms of polynomials orthogonal on the unit circle. We do not use asymptotics of orthogonal polynomials. We obtain the $sin$-kernel as a unique solution of a certain non-linear integro-differential equation.
We present an asymptotic analysis of the Verblunsky coefficients for the polynomials orthogonal on the unit circle with the varying weight $e^{-nV(cos x)}$, assuming that the potential $V$ has four bounded derivatives on $[-1,1]$ and the equilibrium measure has a one interval support. We obtain the asymptotics as a solution of the system of string equations.
