In this paper we consider a class of continued fraction expansions: the so-called $N$-expansions with a finite digit set, where $N\geq 2$ is an integer. These \emph{$N$-expansions with a finite digit set} were introduced in [KL,L], and…

Fractional parts of the first $N$ natural numbers fill the unit interval with asymptotically uniform density. However, the gaps around rational points shrink at an asymptotically lower rate $N^{-1/2}$, and their widths scale with the Thomae…

The Three Gap Theorem states that for any $\alpha \in \mathbb{R}$ and $N \in \mathbb{N}$, the fractional parts of $\{ 0\alpha, 1\alpha, \dots, (N - 1)\alpha \}$ partition the unit circle into gaps of at most three distinct lengths. We prove…

Let $\beta > 1$ be a real number and $(\epsilon_1(x, \beta), \epsilon_2(x, \beta), \ldots)$ be the $\beta$-expansion of a point $x \in (0, 1]$. For all $x \in (0,1]$, let $A(D(x))$ be the set of accumulation points of $\frac{-\log_\beta…

We study automorphisms $\alpha$ of a totally disconnected, locally compact group $G$ which are expansive in the sense that, for some identity neighbourhood $U$, the sets $\alpha^n(U)$ (for integers $n$) intersect in the trivial group.…

Recently a new class of continued fraction algorithms, the $(N,\alpha$)-expansions, was introduced for each $N\in\mathbb{N}$, $N\geq 2$ and $\alpha \in (0,\sqrt{N}-1]$. Each of these continued fraction algorithms has only finitely many…

The Three Gap Theorem states that for any $\alpha \in (0,1)$ and any integer $N \geq 1$, the fractional parts of the sequence $0, \alpha, 2\alpha, \cdots, (N-1)\alpha$ partition the unit interval into $N$ subintervals having at most…

For a finite dimensional algebra $A$ with $0 < \phi dim (A) = m < \infty$ we prove that there always exist modules $M$ and $N$ such that $\phi(M) = m-1$ and $\phi (N) = 1$. On the other hand, we see an example of an algebra that not every…

The gaps in the sequence $\{\sqrt{n}\}$ were shown by Elkies-McMullen (2004) to have a limiting distribution which is not the exponential distribution. However it is conjectured that the distribution of gaps in the sequence…

We study the size of the minimal gap between the first N eigenvalues of the Laplacian on a rectangular billiard having irrational squared aspect ratio $\alpha$, in comparison to the corresponding quantity for a Poissonian sequence. If…

We consider an analogue of Nakada's $\alpha$-continued fraction transformation in the setting of continued fractions with odd partial quotients. More precisely, given $\alpha \in [\frac{1}{2}(\sqrt{5}-1),\frac{1}{2}(\sqrt{5}+1)]$, we show…

In this paper we show that, if an increasing sequence $\Lambda=(\lambda_k)_{k\in\mathbb{Z}}$ has gaps going to infinity $\lambda_{k+1}-\lambda_k\to +\infty$ when $k\to\pm\infty$, then for every $T>0$ and every sequence…

We posit that $d_n^2 < 2p_{n+1}$ holds for all $n\geq 1$, where $p_n$ represents the $n$th prime and $d_n$ stands for the $n$th prime gap i.e. $d_n := p_{n+1} - p_n$. Then, the presence of a prime between successive perfect squares, as well…

The topological gap $\Delta = TP_{H_1}^{real} - TP_{H_1}^{shuf}$ -- the excess $H_1$ total persistence of the majority-spin alpha complex over a density-matched null -- encodes critical correlations in spin models. We establish finite-size…

Given a rational elliptic surface X over an algebraically closed field, we investigate whether a given natural number k can be the intersection number of two sections of X. If not, we say that k a gap number. We try to answer when gap…

For irrational $\alpha$, $\{n\alpha\}$ is uniformly distributed mod 1 in the Weyl sense, and the asymptotic behavior of its discrepancy is completely known. In contrast, very few precise results exist for the discrepancy of subsequences…

We introduce a family of maps generating continued fractions where the digit $1$ in the numerator is replaced cyclically by some given non-negative integers $(N_1,\ldots,N_m)$. We prove the convergence of the given algorithm, and study the…

Let $p_{k}$ denote the $k$-th prime and $d(p_{k}) = p_{k} - p_{k - 1}$, the difference between consecutive primes. We denote by $N_{\epsilon}(x)$ the number of primes $\leq x$ which satisfy the inequality $d(p_{k}) \leq (\log p_{k})^{2 +…

For a real number $0<\lambda<2$, we introduce a transformation $T_\lambda$ naturally associated to expansion in $\lambda$-continued fraction, for which we also give a geometrical interpretation. The symbolic coding of the orbits of…

We classify the gapped phases of Z_N parafermions in one dimension and construct a representative of each phase. Even in the absence of additional symmetries besides parafermionic parity, parafermions may be realized in a variety of phases,…
