Hermite-Padé approximants of type II are vectors of rational functions with common denominator
that interpolate a given vector of power series at infinity with maximal order. We are
interested in the situation when the approximated vector is given by a pair of Cauchy transforms
of smooth complex measures supported on the real line. The convergence properties of
the approximants are rather well understood when the supports consist of two disjoint intervals
(Angelesco systems) or two intervals that coincide under the condition that the ratio of the
measures is a restriction of the Cauchy transform of a third measure (Nikishin systems). In this
talk we consider the case where the supports form two interlacing symmetric intervals and the
ratio of the measures extends to a holomorphic function in a region that depends on the size
of interlacing. This problem was posed and studied by Herbert Stahl at 80-ties, however the
detailed proof for the asymptotics of Hermite-Padé approximants has never been published.
We shall speak about algebraic functions (of genus 1 and 2) and their abelian integrals (with
purely imaginary periods) which defines the main term of asymptotics for this problem.
