Abstract: We show (among other results) that a symmetric Jacobi matrix whose diagonal is the zero sequence and whose super-diagonal $h_n>0$satisfies $h_{2n-1}=h_{2n}$, $h_k\leq h_{k+1}$ and $0<b\leq\tfrac{h_{2k+2}}{k+1}\leq\tfrac{h_{2k}}{k}$ has purely absolutely continuous spectrum when considered as a self-adjoint operator on $\ell^2(\mathbb{N} )$.
