On the conjectures of Rauzy and Shallit for infinite words

Jean-Paul Allouche, Mireille Bousquet-Mélou (1995)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

We show a connection between a recent conjecture of Shallit and an older conjecture of Rauzy for infinite words on a finite alphabet. More precisely we show that a Rauzy-like conjecture is equivalent to Shallit's. In passing we correct a misprint in Rauzy's conjecture.

On the construction of dense lattices with a given automorphisms group

Philippe Gaborit, Gilles Zémor (2007)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

We consider the problem of constructing dense lattices in n with a given non trivial automorphisms group. We exhibit a family of such lattices of density at least c n 2 - n , which matches, up to a multiplicative constant, the best known density of a lattice packing. For an infinite sequence of dimensions n , we exhibit a finite set of lattices that come with an automorphisms group of size n , and a constant proportion of which achieves the aforementioned lower bound on the largest packing density. The algorithmic...

On the convergence to 0 of mₙξmod 1

Bassam Fayad, Jean-Paul Thouvenot (2014)

Acta Arithmetica

We show that for any irrational number α and a sequence m l l of integers such that l i m l | | | m l α | | | = 0 , there exists a continuous measure μ on the circle such that l i m l | | | m l θ | | | d μ ( θ ) = 0 . This implies that any rigidity sequence of any ergodic transformation is a rigidity sequence for some weakly mixing dynamical system. On the other hand, we show that for any α ∈ ℝ - ℚ, there exists a sequence m l l of integers such that | | | m l α | | | 0 and such that m l θ [ 1 ] is dense on the circle if and only if θ ∉ ℚα + ℚ.
