Hausdorff dimension estimates for Sudler products with positive lower bound

Abstract

Given an irrational number α\alpha, we study the asymptotic behaviour of the Sudler product denoted by PN(α)=r=1N2sinπrαP_N(\alpha) = \prod_{r=1}^N 2\lvert \sin \pi r \alpha \rvert. We show that lim infNPN(α)>0\liminf_{N \to \infty} P_N(\alpha) >0 and lim supNPN(α)/N<\limsup_{N \to \infty} P_N(\alpha)/N < \infty whenever the sequence of partial quotients in the continued fraction expansion of α\alpha exceeds 3 only finitely often, which confirms a conjecture of the second-named author and partially answers a question of J. Shallit. Furthermore, we show that the Hausdorff dimension of the set of those α\alpha that satisfy lim supNPN(α)/N<,lim infNPN(α)>0\limsup_{N \to \infty} P_N(\alpha)/N < \infty,\liminf_{N \to \infty} P_N(\alpha) >0 lies between 0.70560.7056 and 0.86770.8677, which makes significant progress in a question raised by Aistleitner, Technau, and Zafeiropoulos. We also show that the set of such α\alpha is invariant under the Gauss map TT.
