Symmetries of the Three-Gap Theorem
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Three Gap Theorem states that for any $\alpha \in \mathbb{R}$ and $N \mathbb{N}$, the fractional parts of $\{ 0\alpha, 1\alpha, \dots, (N - 1)\alpha \}$ partition unit circle into gaps at most three distinct lengths. We prove a result about symmetries in order with which sizes appear on circle.

The Three Gap Theorem (Steinhaus Conjecture)
We deal with the distribution of N points placed consecutively around the circle by a fixed angle of α. From the proof of Tony van Ravenstein [RAV88], we propose a detailed proof of the Steinhaus conjecture whose result is the following: the N points partition the circle into gaps of at most three different lengths. We study the mathematical notions required for the proof of this theorem reveal...

متن کاملThe Three Gap Theorem and Riemannian Geometry
The classical Three Gap Theorem asserts that for n ∈ N and p ∈ R, there are at most three distinct distances between consecutive elements in the subset of [0, 1) consisting of the reductions modulo 1 of the first n multiples of p (see e.g. [Só58], [Św58]). There are several interesting generalizations of this theorem in [FrSó92], [Vi08], and the references therein. Regarding it as a statement a...
متن کاملCharacteristics and the Three Gap Theorem
It may be shown that dm may only equal [a] or [a] + 1 (that is, 0 or 1 when 0 < a < 1) . If we replace [a] by s (small) and [a] + 1 by 1 (large), then we obtain a string of such characters. This we will refer to as the characteristic of a. For example, the characteristic of a = /2 is sslslsslsl... . String operations may be used to generate the characteristic from its first few terms, by utiliz...
متن کاملRealization of symmetries and the c – theorem
We discuss the relation between the c–theorem and the the way various symmetries are realized in quantum field theory. We review our recent proof of the c–theorem in four dimensions. Based on this proof and further evidence, we conjecture that the realization of chiral symmetry be irreversible, flowing from the Wigner-Weyl realization at short distance to the Nambu–Goldstone realization at long...
