The pair correlations of the Thue--Morse sequence and system are revisited, with focus on asymptotic results on various means. First, it is shown that all higher-order correlations of the Thue--Morse sequence with general real weights are…
Let $x\geq 1$ be a large integer, and let $\mu:\mathbb{N}\longrightarrow\{-1,0,1\}$ be the Mobius function. This article proposes an effective asymptotic result for the autocorrelation function $\sum_{n \leq x} \mu(n) \mu(n+t) =O\left(…
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.…
This paper explores the proof by J. Bourgain, H. Furstenberg, Y. Katznelson and D.S. Ornstein of their return times theorem [2] and lights a corner in it regarding the role of auto-correlation. As for pointwise convergence, this was already…
The Thue-Morse sequence is an aperiodically ordered infinite binary sequence. It is used as a one-dimensional way to model the structure of a quasicrystal. For example, taking autocorrelations of these sequences (roughly, measuring how…
The level of distribution of a complex valued sequence $b$ measures "how well $b$ behaves" on arithmetic progressions $nd+a$. Determining whether $\theta$ is a level of distribution for $b$ involves summing a certain error over $d\leq D$,…
The length $a(n)$ of the longest common subsequence of the $n$'th Thue-Morse word and its bitwise complement is studied. An open problem suggested by Jean Berstel in 2006 is to find a formula for $a(n)$. In this paper we prove new lower…
Given an integer $q\ge2$ and $\theta_1,\cdots,\theta_{q-1}\in\{0,1\}$, let $(\theta_n)_{n\ge0}$ be the generalized Thue-Morse sequence, defined to be the unique fixed point of the morphism $$0\mapsto0\theta_1\cdots\theta_{q-1}$$…
We prove that the Thue--Morse sequence $\mathbf t$ along subsequences indexed by $\lfloor n^c\rfloor$ is normal, where $1<c<3/2$. That is, for $c$ in this range and for each $\omega\in\{0,1\}^L$, where $L\geq 1$, the set of occurrences of…
We prove that for $1<c<4/3$ the subsequence of the Thue--Morse sequence $\mathbf t$ indexed by $\lfloor n^c\rfloor$ defines a normal sequence, that is, each finite sequence $(\varepsilon_0,\ldots,\varepsilon_{T-1})\in \{0,1\}^T$ occurs as a…
In this paper we study sums of Dirichlet series whose coefficients are terms of the Thue-Morse sequence and variations thereof. We find closed-form expressions for such sums in terms of known constants and functions including the Riemann…
Let $\lambda_{\phi}(n)$ be the Fourier coefficients of a Hecke holomorphic or Hecke--Maass cusp form on ${\rm SL}_2(\mathbb Z)$, and $f$ be any multiplicative function that satisfies two mild hypotheses. We establish a non-trivial upper…
The auto-cross covariance matrix is defined as \[\mathbf{M}_n=\frac{1} {2T}\sum_{j=1}^T\bigl(\mathbf{e}_j\mathbf{e}_{j+\tau}^*+\mathbf{e}_{j+ \tau}\mathbf{e}_j^*\bigr),\] where $\mathbf{e}_j$'s are $n$-dimensional vectors of independent…
The Thue--Morse sequence $t=01101001\cdots$ is an automatic sequence over the alphabet $\{0,1\}$. It can be defined as the binary sum-of-digits function $s:\mathbb N\rightarrow\mathbb N$, reduced modulo $2$, or by using the substitution…
Let $t$ be random and uniformly distributed in the interval $[T,2T]$, and consider the quantity $N(t+1/\log T) - N(t)$, a count of zeros of the Riemann zeta function in a box of height $1/\log T$. Conditioned on the Riemann hypothesis, we…
The Thue--Morse sequence is a prototypical automatic sequence found in diverse areas of mathematics, and in computer science. We study occurrences of factors $w$ within this sequence, more precisely, the sequence of gaps between consecutive…
We illustrate a general technique for enumerating factors of k-automatic sequences by proving a conjecture on the number f(n) of unbordered factors of the Thue-Morse sequence. We show that f(n) <= n for n >= 4 and that f(n) = n infinitely…
This note is concerned with the scaling limit as N approaches infinity of n-point correlations between zeros of random holomorphic polynomials of degree N in m variables. More generally we study correlations between zeros of holomorphic…
We define the quantile set of order $\alpha \in \left[ 1/2,1\right) $ associated to a law $P$ on $\mathbb{R}^{d}$ to be the collection of its directional quantiles seen from an observer $O\in \mathbb{R}^{d}$. Under minimal assumptions these…
This paper establishes new upper bounds for the sum of the $k$ largest eigenvalues of symmetric matrices. When applied to the adjacency matrix of a graph, our results improve upon a related bound due to Mohar {\bf [On the sum of k largest…
