The Minkowski Question Mark function can be characterized as the unique homeomorphism of the real unit interval that conjugates the Farey map with the tent map. We construct an n-dimensional analogue of the Minkowski function as the only…

Let A_0, A_1 be nonnegative matrices in GL(n+1,Z) such that the subsimplexes A_0[Delta], A_1[Delta] split the standard unit n-dimensional simplex Delta in two. We prove that, for every n=1,2,... and up to the natural action of the symmetric…

We describe a flexible construction that produces triples of finitely generated, residually finite groups $M\hookrightarrow P \hookrightarrow \Gamma$, where the maps induce isomorphisms of profinite completions…

For any field k and any integers m,n with 0 <= 2m <= n+1, let W_n be the k-vector space of sequences (x_0,...,x_n), and let H_m be the subset of W_n consisting of the sequences that satisfy a degree-m linear recursion, that is, for which…

We describe Gauss-type maps as geometric realizations of certain codes in the monoid of nonnegative matrices in the extended modular group. Each such code, together with an appropriate choice of unimodular intervals in P^1R, determines a…

We study analogues of Minkowski's question mark function $?(x)$ related to continued fractions with even or odd partial quotients. We prove that these functions are H\"older continuous with precise exponents, and that they linearize the…

Let $\mathcal H$ be a complex Hilbert space and $\mathcal F_s (\mathcal H)$ the real vector space of all self-adjoint finite rank bounded operators on $\mathcal H$. We generalize the famous Wigner's theorem by characterizing linear maps on…

We study the topological properties of attractors of Iterated Function Systems (I.F.S.) on the real line, consisting of affine maps of homogeneous contraction ratio. These maps define what we call a second generation I.F.S.: they are…

The Minkowski's Question-Mark function is a singular homeomorphism of the unit interval that maps the set of quadratic surds into the rationals. This function has deserved the attention of several authors since the beginning of the…

We define a sequence of functions, namely tame cuts, in the Fourier algebra $A(G)$ of a locally compact group $G$, that satisfies certain convergence and growth conditions. This new consideration allows us to give a group admitting a…

The paper concerns fractal homeomorphism between the attractors of two bi-affine iterated function systems. After a general discussion of bi-affine functions, conditions are provided under which a bi-affine iterated function system is…

We investigate conditions for the extendibility of continuous algebra homomorphisms $\phi$ from the Fourier algebra $A(F)$ of a locally compact group $F$ to the Fourier-Stieltjes algebra $B(G)$ of a locally compact group $G$ to maps between…

Let G be the group of points of a quasi-split reductive algebraic group over a local field F. It follows from the local Langlands conjectures that to every non-trivial additive character of F and every representation of the Langlands dual…

Let F_m=F_m(var(sl(2,K))) be the relatively free algebra of rank m in the variety of Lie algebras generated by the algebra sl(2,K) over a field K of characteristic 0. Translating an old result of Baker from 1901 we present a multiplication…

We define two types of the $\alpha$-Farey maps $F_{\alpha}$ and $F_{\alpha, \flat}$ for $0 < \alpha < \tfrac{1}{2}$, which were previously defined only for $\tfrac{1}{2} \le \alpha \le 1$ by R.~Natsui (2004). Then, for each $0 < \alpha <…

Let $\mathbb{F}$ be a field and $f : \mathfrak{S}_n \rightarrow \mathbb{F} \setminus \{0\}$ be an arbitrary map. The Schur matrix functional associated to $f$ is defined as $M \in \text{M}_n(\mathbb{F}) \mapsto…

We prove a conjecture of Calta, Kraaikamp and the author: For all $n\ge 3$, each member of their one-parameter family of interval maps, denoted $T_{3,n,\alpha}$, has its `first expansive return map' of natural extension given by the first…

We give partial answers to the following question: if $F$ is an $m$ by $m$ matrix on $\mathbb{R}^n$ satisfying a second order linear elliptic equation, does $\det F$ satisfy the strong unique continuation property? We give counterexamples…

Feng and Wang showed that two homogeneous iterated function systems in $\mathbb{R}$ with multiplicatively independent contraction ratios necessarily have different attractors. In this paper, we extend this result to graph directed iterated…

The Minkowski question mark function, maping the unit interval to itself, is a continuous, strictly increasing, one-to-one and onto function that has derivative zero almost everywhere. Key to these facts are the basic properties of…
