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. A counterexample with two critical points of multiplicity three refutes it: the sequence satisfies the decomposition conditions while the corresponding weighted entropy is $-\infty$.
