Universal counting of lattice points in polytopes.
All maps of type (m,n) are covered by a universal map M(m,n) which lies on one of the three simply connected Riemann surfaces; in fact M(m,n) covers all maps of type (r,s) where r|m and s|n. In this paper we construct a tessellation M which is universal for all maps on all surfaces. We also consider the tessellation M(8,3) which covers all triangular maps. This coincides with the well-known Farey tessellation and we find many connections between M(8,3) and M.
In the paper, we give a survey of the results on the approximation of analytic functions by shifts of Hurwitz zeta-functions. Theorems of such a kind are called universality theorems. Continuous, discrete and joint universality theorems of Hurwitz zeta-functions are discussed.
For x ∈ (0,1), the univoque set for x, denoted (x), is defined to be the set of β ∈ (1,2) such that x has only one representation of the form x = x₁/β + x₂/β² + ⋯ with . We prove that for any x ∈ (0,1), (x) contains a sequence increasing to 2. Moreover, (x) is a Lebesgue null set of Hausdorff dimension 1; both (x) and its closure are nowhere dense.
Classical results of Rédei, Reichardt and Scholz show that unramified cyclic quartic extensions of quadratic number fields correspond to certain factorizations of its discriminant disc . In this paper we extend their results to unramified quaternion extensions of which are normal over , and show how to construct them explicitly.
