On the Construction of Galois Extensions of Function Fields and Number Fields.
We show that for any irrational number α and a sequence of integers such that , there exists a continuous measure μ on the circle such that . 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 of integers such that and such that is dense on the circle if and only if θ ∉ ℚα + ℚ.
In an earlier paper Gyarmati introduced the notion of f-correlation for families of binary pseudorandom sequences as a measure of randomness in the family. In this paper we generalize the f-correlation to families of pseudorandom sequences of k symbols and study its properties.
Given an integer base and a completely -additive arithmetic function taking integer values, we deduce an asymptotic expression for the counting functionunder a mild restriction on the values of . When , the base sum of digits function, the integers counted by are the so-called base Niven numbers, and our result provides a generalization of the asymptotic known in that case.
In a classic paper, W.G. Spohn established the to-date sharpest estimates from below for the simultaneous Diophantine approximation constants for three and more real numbers. As a by-result of his method which used Blichfeldt’s Theorem and the calculus of variations, he derived a bound for the critical determinant of the star body In this little note, after a brief exposition of the basics of the geometry of numbers and its significance for Diophantine approximation, this latter result is improved...
