On t-adic Littlewood conjecture for generalised Thue-Morse functions

Number Theory 2020-01-07 v1

Abstract

We consider a Laurent series defined by infinite products gu(t)=n=0(1+ut2n)g_u(t) = \prod_{n=0}^\infty (1 + ut^{-2^n}), where uFu\in \mathbb{F} is a parameter and F\mathbb{F} is a field. We show that for all uQ{1,0,1}u\in\mathbb{Q}\setminus\{-1,0,1\} the series gu(t)g_u(t) does not satisfy the tt-adic Littlewood conjecture. On the other hand, if F\mathbb{F} is finite then gu(t)F((t1))g_u(t)\in \mathbb{F}((t^{-1})) is either a rational function or it satisfies the tt-adic Littlewood conjecture.
