Geometrical aspects of expansions in complex bases

Abstract

We study the set of the representable numbers in base q=pei2πnq=pe^{i\frac{2\pi}{n}} with ρ>1\rho>1 and nNn\in \mathbb N and with digits in a arbitrary finite real alphabet AA. We give a geometrical description of the convex hull of the representable numbers in base qq and alphabet AA and an explicit characterization of its extremal points. A characterizing condition for the convexity of the set of representable numbers is also shown.
