Normality of the Thue--Morse sequence along Piatetski-Shapiro sequences

Number Theory 2017-07-18 v1

Abstract

We prove that for 1<c<4/31<c<4/3 the subsequence of the Thue--Morse sequence t\mathbf t indexed by nc\lfloor n^c\rfloor defines a normal sequence, that is, each finite sequence (ε0,,εT1){0,1}T(\varepsilon_0,\ldots,\varepsilon_{T-1})\in \{0,1\}^T occurs as a contiguous subsequence of the sequence nt(nc)n\mapsto \mathbf t\left(\lfloor n^c\rfloor\right) with asymptotic frequency 2T2^{-T}.
