Abstract: In this talk, I will introduce some polynomials that are best approximants in some sense to reciprocals of functions in the Bergman spaces of the disk. I will discuss the extremal problem of finding a zero of minimal modulus, and will show how that extremal problem is related to Jacobi matrices and real orthogonal polynomials.
