In this dissertation, starting from Verblunsky correspondence, we study the representationof the Gaussian free field in terms of Verblunsky sequence. We then explore connections of Verblunsky theory with loop group factorization and certain 1D Ising models. Next, we provide a new one-parameter family of Verblunsky sequences with their associated measure. At the end, we show how to translate instances of Verblunsky correspondence into partition function calculations of Ising models.Type
