Cross Sections for Geodesic Flows and Α-continued Fractions
نویسندگان
چکیده
We adjust Arnoux’s coding, in terms of regular continued fractions, of the geodesic flow on the modular surface to give a cross section on which the return map is a double cover of the natural extension for the α-continued fractions, for each α ∈ (0, 1]. The argument applies in wide generality, as we illustrate with its application to the Rosen continued fractions and their recently introduced α-variants.

Duke’s Theorem and Continued Fractions
For uniformly chosen random α ∈ [0, 1], it is known the probability the nth digit of the continued-fraction expansion, [α]n converges to the Gauss-Kuzmin distribution P([α]n = k) ≈ log2(1 + 1/k(k + 2)) as n → ∞. In this paper, we show the continued fraction digits of √ d, which are eventually periodic, also converge to the Gauss-Kuzmin distribution as d → ∞ with bounded class number, h(d). The ...
متن کاملENTROPY OF GEODESIC FLOWS ON SUBSPACES OF HECKE SURFACE WITH ARITHMETIC CODE
There are dierent ways to code the geodesic flows on surfaces with negative curvature. Such code spaces give a useful tool to verify the dynamical properties of geodesic flows. Here we consider special subspaces of geodesic flows on Hecke surface whose arithmetic codings varies on a set with innite alphabet. Then we will compare the topological complexity of them by computing their topological ...
متن کاملHyperbolic geometry, continued fractions and classification of AF C*-algebras
We classify polycyclic dimension groups, i.e. dimension groups with the underlying group Z and n ≥ 4. Our method is based on geometry of simple geodesic lines on the Riemann surface of genus g ≥ 2. The main theorem says that every polycyclic dimension group can be indexed by single real parameter α, where α is a positive irrational modulo the action of GL(2,Z). This result is an extension of th...
متن کاملIntegrable Geodesic Flows on Surfaces
We propose a new condition א which enables to get new results on integrable geodesic flows on closed surfaces. This paper has two parts. In the first, we strengthen Kozlov’s theorem on non-integrability on surfaces of higher genus. In the second, we study integrable geodesic flows on 2-torus. Our main result for 2-torus describes the phase portraits of integrable flows. We prove that they are e...
متن کاملGeodesic laminations and continued fractions
We introduce the notion of “slope” for geodesic laminations. Slope is a positive irrational defined via regular continued fraction. The action of the mapping class group on lamination pulls back to the action of GL(2, Z) on real line. We discuss applications of slopes in complex analysis, low-dimensional topology, geometric group theory and C∗-algebras.
