A Mixed-Resonance Counterexample to the Lukic Conjecture

Let $\mu$ be a probability measure on the unit circle with Verblunsky coefficients $\alpha$.

Lukic conjectured that a weighted entropy condition with finitely many critical points is equivalent to a decomposition of $\alpha$ into components localized at those points.

We give a counterexample for two critical points of multiplicity three, found by GPT-5.6.

The construction uses two phase modes with common power-decay exponent $3/20$.

The sequence admits the Lukic's decomposition conditions, but its weighted entropy for the corresponding two-point weight equals $-\infty$.
