Pairs of additive forms and Artin's conjecture
We show that there exist infinitely many consecutive square-free numbers of the form , . We also establish an asymptotic formula for the number of such square-free pairs when does not exceed given sufficiently large positive number.
We study the palindromic complexity of infinite words , the fixed points of the substitution over a binary alphabet, , , with , which are canonically associated with quadratic non-simple Parry numbers .
We study the palindromic complexity of infinite words uβ, the fixed points of the substitution over a binary alphabet, φ(0) = 0a1, φ(1) = 0b1, with a - 1 ≥ b ≥ 1, which are canonically associated with quadratic non-simple Parry numbers β.
A simple Parry number is a real number such that the Rényi expansion of is finite, of the form . We study the palindromic structure of infinite aperiodic words that are the fixed point of a substitution associated with a simple Parry number . It is shown that the word contains infinitely many palindromes if and only if . Numbers satisfying this condition are the so-called confluent Pisot numbers. If then is an Arnoux-Rauzy word. We show that if is a confluent Pisot number then...
In the present work, we investigate real numbers whose sequence of partial quotients enjoys some combinatorial properties involving the notion of palindrome. We provide three new transendence criteria, that apply to a broad class of continued fraction expansions, including expansions with unbounded partial quotients. Their proofs heavily depend on the Schmidt Subspace Theorem.
In his proof of Szemerédi’s Theorem, Gowers introduced certain norms that are defined on a parallelepiped structure. A natural question is on which sets a parallelepiped structure (and thus a Gowers norm) can be defined. We focus on dimensions and and show when this possible, and describe a correspondence between the parallelepiped structures and nilpotent groups.
The parameter spaces for quadrics are reviewed. In addition, an explicit formula for the number of quadrics tangent to given linear subspaces is presented.
