Substitutions, abstract number systems and the space filling property

Clemens Fuchs, Robert Tijdeman (2006)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Similarity:

In this paper we study multi-dimensional words generated by fixed points of substitutions by projecting the integer points on the corresponding broken halfline. We show for a large class of substitutions that the resulting word is the restriction of a linear function modulo 1 and that it can be decided whether the resulting word is space filling or not. The proof uses lattices and the abstract number system associated with the substitution.

Geometric realization and coincidence for reducible non-unimodular Pisot tiling spaces with an application to β -shifts

Veronica Baker, Marcy Barge, Jaroslaw Kwapisz (2006)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Similarity:

This article is devoted to the study of the translation flow on self-similar tilings associated with a substitution of Pisot type. We construct a geometric representation and give necessary and sufficient conditions for the flow to have pure discrete spectrum. As an application we demonstrate that, for certain beta-shifts, the natural extension is naturally isomorphic to a toral automorphism.

Weak mixing and eigenvalues for Arnoux-Rauzy sequences

Julien Cassaigne, Sébastien Ferenczi, Ali Messaoudi (2008)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Similarity:

We define by simple conditions two wide subclasses of the so-called Arnoux-Rauzy systems; the elements of the first one share the property of (measure-theoretic) weak mixing, thus we generalize and improve a counter-example to the conjecture that these systems are codings of rotations; those of the second one have eigenvalues, which was known hitherto only for a very small set of examples.

The higher transvectants are redundant

Abdelmalek Abdesselam, Jaydeep Chipalkatti (2009)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Similarity:

Let A , B denote generic binary forms, and let 𝔲 r = ( A , B ) r denote their r -th transvectant in the sense of classical invariant theory. In this paper we classify all the quadratic syzygies between the { 𝔲 r } . As a consequence, we show that each of the higher transvectants { 𝔲 r : r ≥ 2 } is redundant in the sense that it can be completely recovered from 𝔲 0 and 𝔲 1 . This result can be geometrically interpreted in terms of the incomplete Segre imbedding. The calculations rely upon the Cauchy exact sequence of S L 2 -representations,...

Analysis of two step nilsequences

Bernard Host, Bryna Kra (2008)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

Similarity:

Nilsequences arose in the study of the multiple ergodic averages associated to Furstenberg’s proof of Szemerédi’s Theorem and have since played a role in problems in additive combinatorics. Nilsequences are a generalization of almost periodic sequences and we study which portions of the classical theory for almost periodic sequences can be generalized for two step nilsequences. We state and prove basic properties for two step nilsequences and give a classification scheme for them. ...
