An aim of this article is to highlight dynamical differences between the greedy, and hence the lazy, $\beta$-shift (transformation) and an intermediate $\beta$-shift (transformation), for a fixed $\beta \in (1, 2)$. Specifically, a…

The subshift of finite type property (also known as the Markov property) is ubiquitous in dynamical systems and the simplest and most widely studied class of dynamical systems are $\beta$-shifts, namely transformations of the form…

We focus on the relationships between matching and subshift of finite type for intermediate $\beta$-transformations $T_{\beta,\alpha}(x)=\beta x+\alpha $ ($\bmod$ 1), where $x\in[0,1]$ and $(\beta,\alpha) \in \Delta:= \{ (\beta, \alpha) \in…

For a finite group $G$, we associate the quantity $\beta(G)=\frac{|L(G)|}{|G|}$, where $L(G)$ is the subgroup lattice of $G$. Different properties and problems related to this ratio are studied throughout the paper. We determine the second…

We study the negative beta transformations $T_{-\beta}:=-\beta x +\lfloor\beta x\rfloor+1$ for $x\in(0,1]$ and $\beta>1$. We present a complete characterization of pairs of dstinct non-integers with the same $T_{-\beta}$-invariant measure:…

We study the density of periodic configurations for shift spaces defined on (the Cayley graph of) a finitely generated group. We prove that in the case of a full shift on a residually finite group and in that of a group shift space on an…

We show that every intermediate $\beta$-transformation is topologically conjugate to a greedy $\beta$-transformation with a hole at zero, and provide a counterexample illustrating that the correspondence is not one-to-one. This…

For two countable ordinals $\alpha$ and $\beta$, a basis of a Banach space $X$ is said to be $(\alpha, \beta)$-quasi-greedy if it is 1) quasi-greedy, 2) $\mathcal{S}_\alpha$-unconditional but not $\mathcal{S}_{\alpha+1}$-unconditional, and…

We introduce generalized $(\alpha,\beta)$-transformations, which include all $(\alpha,\beta)$ and generalized $\beta$-transformations, and prove that all transitive generalized $(\alpha,\beta)$-transformations satisfy the level-2 large…

Let $0\le \alpha \le \beta\le 1$. For any finite set $B\subset\mathbb{N}$, we show that there exists a set $A\subset\mathbb{N}$ such that $\underline{d}(A+B) = \alpha$ and $\bar{d}(A+B) = \beta$, where $\underline{d}(A+ B)$ and…

We consider positional numeration systems with negative real base $-\beta$, where $\beta>1$, and study the extremal representations in these systems, called here the greedy and lazy representations. We give algorithms for determination of…

The generalization of the Dorokhov-Mello-Pereyra-Kumar equation for the description of transport in strongly disordered systems replaces the symmetry parameter $\beta$ by a new parameter $\gamma$, which decreases to zero when the disorder…

We prove that all ($\alpha$-$\beta$)-shifts with $0\le \alpha<1$ and $\beta>2$ are saturated, that is, for any invariant measure, the topological entropy of the set of generic points coincides with the metric entropy.

The $(-\beta)$-integers are natural generalisations of the $\beta$-integers, and thus of the integers, for negative real bases. When $\beta$ is the analogue of a Parry number, we describe the structure of the set of $(-\beta)$-integers by a…

We consider a one dimensional affine switched system obtained from a formal limit of a two dimensional linear system. We show this is equivalent to minimising the average digit in beta representations with unrestricted digits. We give a…

Let $G$ be a finite group, define $I(G)=\{x\in G : x^{2}=1\}$, $C(G)=$ set of the cyclic subgroups of $G$, $i(G)=|I(G)|$ and $c(G)=|C(G)|$. In this article, we will classify finite groups with $i(G)=c(G)-r$ for $r=0,1,$ and $2$. We also…

We prove limit theorems of an entirely new type for certain long memory regularly varying stationary infinitely divisible random processes. These theorems involve multiple phase transitions governed by how long the memory is. Apart from one…

We consider a specific random graph which serves as a disordered medium for a particle performing biased random walk. Take a two-sided infinite horizontal ladder and pick a random spanning tree with a certain edge weight $c$ for the…

We show that the hypergeometric groups corresponding to the seven pairs of the parameters $\alpha$, $\beta$ where $\alpha$ = (0, 0, 0, 0, 0, 0) and $\beta$ is any of the parameters (1/2, 1/2, 1/2, 1/2, 1/2, 1/2), (1/2, 1/2, 1/2, 1/2, 1/3,…

We study the one-dimensional Levy stable density distributions g(alpha, beta; x) for -infty < x < infty, for rational values of index alpha and the asymmetry parameter beta: alpha = l/k and beta = (l - 2r)/k, where l, k and r are positive…
