Arithmetical properties of finite rings and algebras, and analytic number theory. IV. Relative asymptotic enumeration and L-series.
We consider positional numeration system with negative base , as introduced by Ito and Sadahiro. In particular, we focus on arithmetical properties of such systems when is a quadratic Pisot number. We study a class of roots of polynomials , , and show that in this case the set of finite -expansions is closed under addition, although it is not closed under subtraction. A particular example is , the golden ratio. For such , we determine the exact bound on the number of fractional digits...
