(2012) 513-535 a new connection between orthogonal polynomials on the unit
circle and the real line. It maps any real CMV matrix into a Jacobi one
depending on a real parameter $\lambda$. These authors prove that this map
yields a natural link between the Jacobi polynomials on the unit circle and the
little and big $-1$ Jacobi polynomials on the real line. They also provide
explicit expressions for the measure and orthogonal polynomials associated with
the Jacobi matrix in terms of those related to the CMV matrix, but only for the
value $\lambda=1$ which simplifies the connection -basic DVZ connection-.
However, similar explicit expressions for an arbitrary value of $\lambda$ --
(general) DVZ connection -- are missing. This is the main problem overcome in
this paper.
  This work introduces a new approach to the DVZ connection which formulates it
as a two-dimensional eigenproblem by using known properties of CMV matrices.
This allows us to go further, providing explicit relations between the measures
and orthogonal polynomials for the general DVZ connection. It turns out that
this connection maps a measure on the unit circle into a rational perturbation
of an even measure supported on two symmetric intervals of the real line, which
reduce to a single interval for the basic DVZ connection, while the
perturbation becomes a degree one polynomial. Some instances of the DVZ
connection are shown to give new one-parameter families of orthogonal
polynomials on the real line.
