Let π be an πΓπ Hermitian matrix measure supported on the unit circle. In this contribution, we study some algebraic and analytic properties of matrix orthogonal polynomials associated with the Uvarov matrix transformation of π defined by dππ’π(π§)=dπ(π§)+βπ=1ππππΏ(π§βππ), where ππ is an πΓπ positive definite matrix, ππββ with ππβ ππ and πΏ is the Dirac matrix measure.
