We show that for a Salem number $\beta$ of degree $d$, there exists a positive constant $c(d)$ that $\beta^m$ is a Parry number for integers $m$ of natural density $\ge c(d)$. Further, we show $c(6)>1/2$ and discuss a relation to the…

In this paper we study the regularity of the non-centered fractional maximal operator $M_{\beta}$. As the main result, we prove that there exists $C(n,\beta)$ such that if $q=n/(n-\beta)$ and $f$ is a radial function, then…

The classical construction of the Weil representation, with complex coefficients, has long been expected to work for more general coefficient rings. This paper exhibits the minimal ring $\mathcal{A}$ for which this is possible, the integral…

The Thue--Morse sequence $\{t(n)\}_{n\geqslant 1}$ is the indicator function of the parity of the number of ones in the binary expansion of positive integers $n$, where $t(n)=1$ (resp. $=0$) if the binary expansion of $n$ has an odd (resp.…

It is known that if $x\in[0,1]$ is polynomial time random (i.e. no polynomial time computable martingale succeeds on the binary fractional expansion of $x$) then $x$ is normal in any integer base greater than one. We show that if $x$ is…

In this paper we study representations of real numbers in a numeral system with the base $a>1$ and alphabet (digits set) $A\equiv\{0,1,...,r\}$, $a-1<r\in N$ given by \[x=\sum\limits_{n=1}^{\infty}\frac{\alpha_n}{a^n}\equiv…

Let $T$ be an algebraic automorphism of $\mathbb{T}^{m}$ having the following property: the characteristic polynomial of its matrix is irreducible over $\mathbb{Q}$, and a Pisot number $\beta$ is one of its roots. We define the mapping…

A study of certain Hamiltonian systems has lead Y. Long to conjecture the existence of infinitely many primes of the form $p=2[\alpha n]+1$, where $1<\alpha<2$ is a fixed irrational number. An argument of P. Ribenboim coupled with classical…

We study two positional numeration systems which are known for allowing very efficient addition and multiplication of complex numbers. The first one uses the base $\beta = \imath - 1$ and the digit set $\mathcal{D} = \{ 0, \pm 1, \pm \imath…

Let $S=(s_n)_{n\geq 1}$ be a sequence with elements in a commutative monoid $(\mathcal{M},+,0)$. In this paper, we provide an explicit formula for $$\sum_{\la} C(\la) q^{\sum_{n\geq 1} \la_n\cdot s_n}$$ where $\la=(\la_1,\ldots)$ run…

We study the numeration system with negative basis, introduced by Ito and Sadahiro. We focus on arithmetic operations in the set ${\rm Fin}(-\beta)$ and $\Z_{-\beta}$ of numbers having finite resp. integer $(-\beta)$-expansions. We show…

If $\alpha $ is an irreducible nonexpansive ergodic automorphism of a compact abelian group $X$ (such as an irreducible nonhyperbolic ergodic toral automorphism), then $\alpha $ has no finite or infinite state Markov partitions, and there…

Fix $\delta\in(0,1]$, $\sigma_0\in[0,1)$ and a real-valued function $\varepsilon(x)$ for which $\limsup_{x\to\infty}\varepsilon(x)\le 0$. For every set of primes ${\mathcal P}$ whose counting function $\pi_{\mathcal P}(x)$ satisfies an…

We deal with the problem of coexistence in interval effect algebras using the notion of a witness mapping. Suppose that we are given an interval effect algebra $E$, a coexistent subset $S$ of $E$, a witness mapping $\beta$ for $S$, and an…

In this paper, we consider the positional numeration system, called the Cantor real expansion, on the unit interval $[\gamma, \gamma+1]$, where $\gamma \in \mathbb{R}$, with respect to an alternate base (i.e., a base which is a purely…

We consider Cantor real numeration system as a frame in which every non-negative real number has a positional representation. The system is defined using a bi-infinite sequence $\Beta=(\beta_n)_{n\in\Z}$ of real numbers greater than one. We…

The lazy algorithm for a real base $\beta$ is generalized to the setting of Cantor bases $\boldsymbol{\beta}=(\beta_n)_{n\in \mathbb{N}}$ introduced recently by Charlier and the author. To do so, let $x_{\boldsymbol{\beta}}$ be the greatest…

This paper deals with the set of $\alpha\in{\mathbb{R}}$ such that $\alpha \zeta^{n} \bmod 1$ tends to $0$ for a fixed $\zeta\in{\mathbb{R}}$, which we call $\mathscr{M}_{\zeta}$. Predominately the case of Pisot numbers $\zeta$ is studied.…

By the m-spectrum of a real number q>1 we mean the set Y^m(q) of values p(q) where p runs over the height m polynomials with integer coefficients. These sets have been extensively investigated during the last fifty years because of their…
