Metric Diophantine approximation on the middle-third Cantor set

Yann Bugeaud, Arnaud Durand (2016)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Let μ 2 be a real number and let ( μ ) denote the set of real numbers approximable at order at least μ by rational numbers. More than eighty years ago, Jarník and, independently, Besicovitch established that the Hausdorff dimension of ( μ ) is equal to 2 / μ . We investigate the size of the intersection of ( μ ) with Ahlfors regular compact subsets of the interval [ 0 , 1 ] . In particular, we propose a conjecture for the exact value of the dimension of ( μ ) intersected with the middle-third Cantor set and give several results...

Metric spaces admitting only trivial weak contractions

Richárd Balka (2013)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

If (X,d) is a metric space then a map f: X → X is defined to be a weak contraction if d(f(x),f(y)) < d(x,y) for all x,y ∈ X, x ≠ y. We determine the simplest non-closed sets X ⊆ ℝⁿ in the sense of descriptive set-theoretic complexity such that every weak contraction f: X → X is constant. In order to do so, we prove that there exists a non-closed F σ set F ⊆ ℝ such that every weak contraction f: F → F is constant. Similarly, there exists a non-closed G δ set G ⊆ ℝ such that every weak contraction...

Micro tangent sets of continuous functions

Zoltán Buczolich (2003)

Mathematica Bohemica

Motivated by the concept of tangent measures and by H. Fürstenberg’s definition of microsets of a compact set A we introduce micro tangent sets and central micro tangent sets of continuous functions. It turns out that the typical continuous function has a rich (universal) micro tangent set structure at many points. The Brownian motion, on the other hand, with probability one does not have graph like, or central graph like micro tangent sets at all. Finally we show that at almost all points Takagi’s...

Minimal generators for aperiodic endomorphisms

Zbigniew S. Kowalski (1995)

Commentationes Mathematicae Universitatis Carolinae

Every aperiodic endomorphism f of a nonatomic Lebesgue space which possesses a finite 1-sided generator has a 1-sided generator β such that k f card β k f + 1 . This is the best estimate for the minimal cardinality of a 1-sided generator. The above result is the generalization of the analogous one for ergodic case.

Minimal models for d -actions

Bartosz Frej, Agata Kwaśnicka (2008)

Colloquium Mathematicae

We prove that on a metrizable, compact, zero-dimensional space every d -action with no periodic points is measurably isomorphic to a minimal d -action with the same, i.e. affinely homeomorphic, simplex of measures.

Minimal self-joinings and positive topological entropy II

François Blanchard, Jan Kwiatkowski (1998)

Studia Mathematica

An effective construction of positive-entropy almost one-to-one topological extensions of the Chacón flow is given. These extensions have the property of almost minimal power joinings. For each possible value of entropy there are uncountably many pairwise non-conjugate such extensions.
