For a real $x\in(0,1)\setminus\mathbb{Q}$, let $x=[a_1(x),a_2(x),\cdots]$ be its continued fraction expansion. Let $s_n(x)=\sum_{j=1}^n a_j(x)$. The Hausdorff dimensions of the level sets $E_{\varphi(n),\alpha}:=\{x\in(0,1):…

For a fixed $\theta^2=1/m$, $m \in \mathbb{N}_+$, let $x \in [0, \theta)$ and $[a_1(x) \theta, a_2(x) \theta, \ldots]$ be the $\theta$-expansion of $x$. Our first goal is to extend for $\theta$-expansions the results of Jarnik \cite{J-1928}…

Ergodic properties of a renormalization procedure for studying the 1/2-discrepancy sums driven by rotations are studied, with corresponding implications for almost-sure bounds on the growth rates for these discrepancy sums.

The first result of the paper (Theorem 1.1) is an explicit construction of unimodal maps that are semiconjugate, on the post-critical set, to the circle rotation by an arbitrary irrational angle $\theta\in(3/5,2/3)$. Our construction is a…

We determine the Hausdorff dimension of sets of irrationals in $(0,1)$ whose partial quotients in semi-regular continued fractions obey certain restrictions and growth conditions. This result substantially generalizes that of the second…

We initiate the study of the sets $H(c)$, $0<c<1$, of real $x$ for which the sequence $(kx)_{k\geq1}$ (viewed mod 1) consistently hits the interval $[0,c)$ at least as often as expected (i. e., with frequency $\geq c$). More formally, \[…

Let $f$ be a homeomorphism of the closed annulus $A$ isotopic to the identity, and let $X\subset {\rm Int}A$ be an $f$-invariant continuum which separates $A$ into two domains, the upper domain $U_+$ and the lower domain $U_-$. Fixing a…

We show that a sequence has effective Hausdorff dimension 1 if and only if it is coarsely similar to a Martin-L\"{o}f random sequence. More generally, a sequence has effective dimension $s$ if and only if it is coarsely similar to a weakly…

It is known that nonergodic directions in a rational billiard form a subset of the unit circle with Hausdorff dimension at most 1/2. Explicit examples realizing the dimension 1/2 are constructed using Diophantine numbers and continued…

We provide a multiple integral representation for each multiple zeta-star value, and utilize these representations to establish a natural order structure on the set of such values. This order structure allows for a one-to-one correspondence…

We establish sharp bounds for the Hausdorff dimension of sets of irrational numbers in $(0,1)$ whose digits in the $N$-expansion are either uniformly bounded or tend to infinity. For sets with digits bounded by an integer $M \ge N$, we…

We study sets of bounded remainder for the two-dimensional continuous irrational rotation $(\{x_1+t\}, \{x_2+t\alpha \})_{t \geq 0}$ in the unit square. In particular, we show that for almost all $\alpha$ and every starting point $(x_1,…

Let $(\Sigma, \sigma)$ be the one-sided shift space with $m$ symbols and $R_n(x)$ be the first return time of $x\in\Sigma$ to the $n$-th cylinder containing $x$. Denote $$E^\varphi_{\alpha,\beta}=\left\{x\in\Sigma:…

Let $\{x\_n\}\_{n\geq 0}$ be a sequence of $[0,1]^d$, $\{\lambda\_n\} \_{n\geq 0}$ a sequence of positive real numbers converging to 0, and $\delta>1$. Let $\mu$ be a positive Borel measure on $[0,1]^d$, $\rho\in (0,1]$ and $\alpha>0$.…

This article examines the value distribution of $S_{N}(f, \alpha) := \sum_{n=1}^N f(n\alpha)$ for almost every $\alpha$ where $N \in \mathbb{N}$ is ranging over a long interval and $f$ is a $1$-periodic function with discontinuities or…

We survey recent work done on the values at integer points of irrational inhomogeneous quadratic forms, namely, inhomogeneous analogues of the famous Oppenheim conjecture. We also prove that the set of such forms in two variables whose set…

Fundamental questions in Diophantine approximation are related to the Hausdorff dimension of sets of the form $\{x\in \mathbb{R}: \delta_x = \delta\}$, where $\delta \geq 1$ and $\delta_x$ is the Diophantine approximation rate of an…

Let us consider a sphere $S^{n-1}$ of radius $r$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$, where we have fixed poles $N$ and $S$. Suppose that $K$ is a set in $\mathbb{R}^n$ containing a translated copy of each meridian (that is an $S^{n-2}$-sphere) of $S^{n-1}$.…

Let $b \geq 2$ be an integer, and write the base $b$ expansion of any non-negative integer $n$ as $n=x_0+x_1b+\dots+ x_{d}b^{d}$, with $x_d>0$ and $ 0 \leq x_i < b$ for $i=0,\dots,d$. Let $\phi(x)$ denote an integer polynomial such that…

Let $S \subseteq \mathbb{N}$ have the property that for each $k \in S$ the set $(S - k) \cap \mathbb{N} \setminus S$ has asymptotic density $0$. We prove that there exists a basic sequence $Q$ where the set of numbers $Q$-normal of all…
