/ Abstract
A Toeplitz matrix is one in which the matrix elements are constant along diagonals. The Fisher-Hartwig matrices are much-studied singular matrices in the Toeplitz family. The matrices are defined for all orders, $N$. They are parametrized by two constants, $α$ and $β$. Their spectrum of eigenvalues has a simple asymptotic form in the limit as $N$ goes to infinity. Here we study the structure of their eigenvalues and eigenvectors in this limiting case. We specialize to the case $0<α<|β|<1$, where the behavior is particularly simple.
