Abstract

We define a continued fraction map associated with the o(3)\mathfrak o(\sqrt{-3})-module J=ηo(3)\mathcal J = \eta \cdot\mathfrak o(\sqrt{-3}), η=3+32\eta = \frac{3 + \sqrt{-3}}{2}, which is an Eisenstein field version of the continued fraction map associated with o(1)(1+i)\mathfrak o(\sqrt{-1}) \cdot (1 + i) defined by J.~Hurwitz in the case of the Gaussian field. Together with TT, we show that all complex numbers zz can be expanded as J\mathcal J-coefficients. We discuss some basic properties of these continued fraction expansions such as the monotonicity of the absolutely value of the principal convergent qnq_{n} and the existence of the absolutely continuous ergodic invariant probability measure for TT.
