Let
{Φn}n
0 be a sequence of monic orthogonal polynomials on the unit circle (OPUC) with respect to a symmetric and finite positive Borel
measure dμ on
[0,2π] and let
-1,
0,
1,
2,… be the associated sequence of Verblunsky coefficients. In this paper we study the sequence

of monic OPUC whose sequence of Verblunsky coefficients is

b1,b2,…,bN-1 are
N-1 fixed real numbers such that

(-1,1) for all
j=1,2,…,N-1, so that

on the unit circle and a pair of monic OPRL on (a subset of) the interval
[-1,1]. In particular we prove that
supported on (a subset of) the union of
2N intervals contained in
[0,2π] such that any two of these intervals have at most one common point, and where, up to an affine change in the variable,
ζN-1 and
cos
N are algebraic polynomials in
cosθ of degrees
N-1 and
N (respectively) defined only in terms of
0,b1,…,bN-1. This
measure induces a
measure on the unit circle supported on the union of
2N arcs, pairwise symmetric with respect to the real axis. The restriction to symmetric
measures (or real Verblunsky coefficients) is needed in order that Szegö's transformation may be applicable.
