Equations for Mahler measure and isogenies

Matilde N. Lalín (2013)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

We study some functional equations between Mahler measures of genus-one curves in terms of isogenies between the curves. These equations have the potential to establish relationships between Mahler measure and especial values of L -functions. These notes are based on a talk that the author gave at the “Cuartas Jornadas de Teoría de Números”, Bilbao, 2011.

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

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.

Geometric study of the beta-integers for a Perron number and mathematical quasicrystals

Jean-Pierre Gazeau, Jean-Louis Verger-Gaugry (2004)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

We investigate in a geometrical way the point sets of     obtained by the   β -numeration that are the   β -integers   β [ β ]   where   β   is a Perron number. We show that there exist two canonical cut-and-project schemes associated with the   β -numeration, allowing to lift up the   β -integers to some points of the lattice   m   ( m =   degree of   β ) lying about the dominant eigenspace of the companion matrix of   β  . When   β   is in particular a Pisot number, this framework gives another proof of the fact that   β   is...
