Beta-conjugates of real algebraic numbers as Puiseux expansions
Abstract
The beta-conjugates of a base of numeration , being a Parry number, were introduced by Boyd, in the context of the R\'enyi-Parry dynamics of numeration system and the beta-transformation. These beta-conjugates are canonically associated with . Let be a real algebraic number. A more general definition of the beta-conjugates of is introduced in terms of the Parry Upper function of the beta-transformation. We introduce the concept of a germ of curve at associated with and the reciprocal of the minimal polynomial of . This germ is decomposed into irreducible elements according to the theory of Puiseux, gathered into conjugacy classes. The beta-conjugates of , in terms of the Puiseux expansions, are given a new equivalent definition in this new context. If is a Parry number the (Artin-Mazur) dynamical zeta function of the beta-transformation, simply related to , is expressed as a product formula, under some assumptions, a sort of analog to the Euler product of the Riemann zeta function, and the factorization of the Parry polynomial of is deduced from the germ.
