On the Minkowski Measure
نویسنده
چکیده
The Minkowski Question Mark function relates the continued-fraction representation of the real numbers, to their binary expansion. This function is peculiar in many ways; one is that its derivative is ’singular’. One can show by classical techniques that its derivative must vanish on all rationals. Since the Question Mark itself is continuous, one concludes that the derivative must be non-zero on the irrationals, and is thus a discontinuous-everywhere function. This derivative is the subject of this essay. Various results are presented here: First, a simple but formal measure-theoretic construction of the derivative is given, making it clear that it has a very concrete existence as a Lebesgue-Stieltjes measure, and thus is safe to manipulate in various familiar ways. Next, an exact result is given, expressing the measure as an infinite product of piece-wise continuous functions, with each piece being a Möbius transform of the form (ax+ b)/(cx+ d). This construction is then shown to be the Haar measure of a certain transfer operator. A general proof is given that any transfer operator can be understood to be nothing more nor less than a push-forward on a Banach space; such push-forwards induce an invariant measure, the Haar measure, of which the Minkowski measure can serve as a prototypical example. Some minor notes pertaining to it’s relation to the Gauss-Kuzmin-Wirsing operator, are made.

In this paper we study translation surfaces with the non-degenerate third fundamental form in Lorentz- Minkowski space $mathbb{L}^{3}$. As a result, we classify translation surfaces satisfying an equation in terms of the position vector field and the Laplace operator with respect to the third fundamental form $III$ on the surface.

متن کاملThe Infinitesimal Form of Brunn-minkowski Type Inequalities
Log-Brunn-Minkowski inequality was conjectured by Boröczky, Lutwak, Yang and Zhang [7], and it states that a certain strengthening of the classical Brunn-Minkowski inequality is admissible in the case of symmetric convex sets. It was recently shown by Nayar, Zvavitch, the second and the third authors [27], that Log-Brunn-Minkowski inequality implies a certain dimensional Brunn-Minkowski inequal...
