Intersections of higher weight cycles and modular forms
In this article we formalize some results of Diophantine approximation, i.e. the approximation of an irrational number by rationals. A typical example is finding an integer solution (x, y) of the inequality |xθ − y| ≤ 1/x, where 0 is a real number. First, we formalize some lemmas about continued fractions. Then we prove that the inequality has infinitely many solutions by continued fractions. Finally, we formalize Dirichlet’s proof (1842) of existence of the solution [12], [1].
The article defines Liouville numbers, originally introduced by Joseph Liouville in 1844 [17] as an example of an object which can be approximated “quite closely” by a sequence of rational numbers. A real number x is a Liouville number iff for every positive integer n, there exist integers p and q such that q > 1 and [...] It is easy to show that all Liouville numbers are irrational. Liouville constant, which is also defined formally, is the first transcendental (not algebraic) number. It is...
We show a -parity result in a -extension of number fields () for the twist : , where is an elliptic curve over , and are respectively the quadratic character and an irreductible representation of degree of , and is the -Selmer group. The main novelty is that we use a congruence result between -factors (due to Deligne) for the determination of local root numbers in bad cases (places of additive reduction above 2 and 3). We also give applications to the -parity conjecture (using...
Let be a non-integer. We consider expansions of the form , where the digits are generated by means of a Borel map defined on . We show existence and uniqueness of a -invariant probability measure, absolutely continuous with respect to , where is the Bernoulli measure on with parameter () and is the normalized Lebesgue measure on . Furthermore, this measure is of the form , where is equivalent to . We prove that the measure of maximal entropy and are mutually singular. In...
