Palindromy and Ambiguous Ideals Revisited
نویسندگان
چکیده
The purpose of this article is to revisit the relationship between ambiguous ideals and palindromy in the simple continued fraction expansions of quadratic irrationals begun by the first author and A. J. van der Poorten (1995, Bull. Austral. Math. Soc. 51, 215 233). We present simpler proofs of known results, new interrelationships, and correct some misinterpretations. We do this via the infrastructure of real quadratic fields. The conclusion is that palindromy is ambiguity, when properly viewed. 1999 Academic Press

Bertrand’s Paradox Revisited: More Lessons about that Ambiguous Word, Random
The Bertrand paradox question is: “Consider a unit-radius circle for which the length of a side of an inscribed equilateral triangle equals 3 . Determine the probability that the length of a ‘random’ chord of a unit-radius circle has length greater than 3 .” Bertrand derived three different ‘correct’ answers, the correctness depending on interpretation of the word, random. Here we employ geomet...
متن کاملThe palindromic index - A measure of ambiguous cycles of reduced ideals without any ambiguous ideals in real quadratic orders
2014 Herein we introduce the palindromic index as a device for studying ambiguous cycles of reduced ideals with no ambiguous ideal in the cycle.
متن کاملGender equality and fertility intentions revisited: Evidence from Finland
Stimulated by the recent debate on gender roles and men’s fertility behaviour (Puur et al. 2008; Westoff and Higgins 2009; Goldscheider, Oláh and Puur 2010), we present evidence from Finland as a country well into the second phase of the so-called gender revolution. We examine how gender role attitudes relate to childbearing intentions at the onset of family life, intentions to have many (3 or ...
متن کاملAmbiguous Classes in Quadratic Fields
We provide sufficient conditions for the class group of a quadratic field (with positive or negative discriminant) to be generated by ambiguous ideals. This investigation was motivated by a recent result of F. Halter-Koch, which we show is false.
متن کاملLimits to the role of palindromy in deletion formation.
We tested the effect of palindromy on deletion formation. This involved a study of reversion of insertion mutations in the pBR322 amp gene at a site where deletions end either in 9-bp direct repeats or in adjoining 4-bp direct repeats. Inserts of palindromic DNAs ranging from 10 to more than 26 bp and related nonpalindromic DNAs were compared. The frequency of deletions (selected as Ampr revert...
