Geometry, Dynamics, and Arithmetic of S-adic Shifts

چکیده
This paper studies geometric and spectral properties of S-adic shifts and their relation to continued fraction algorithms. Pure discrete spectrum for S-adic shifts and tiling properties of associated Rauzy fractals are established under a generalized Pisot assumption together with a geometric coincidence condition. These general results extend the scope of the Pisot substitution conjecture to the S-adic framework. They are applied to families of S-adic shifts generated by Arnoux-Rauzy as well as Brun substitutions (related to the respective continued fraction algorithms). It is shown that almost all these shifts have pure discrete spectrum, which proves a conjecture of Arnoux and Rauzy going back to the early nineties in a metric sense. We also prove that each linearly recurrent Arnoux-Rauzy shift with recurrent directive sequence has pure discrete spectrum. Using S-adic words related to Brun’s continued fraction algorithm, we exhibit bounded remainder sets and natural codings for almost all translations on the two-dimensional torus.

Heights, algebraic dynamics and Berkovich analytic spaces
The present paper is an exposition on heights and their importance in the modern study of algebraic dynamics. We will explain the idea of canonical height and its surprising relation to algebraic dynamics, invariant measures, arithmetic intersection theory, equidistribution and p-adic analytic geometry.

متن کاملFinitely Ramified Iterated Extensions
Let p be a prime number, K a number field, and S a finite set of places of K. Let KS be the compositum of all extensions of K (in a fixed algebraic closure K) which are unramified outside S, and put GK,S = Gal(KS/K) for its Galois group. These arithmetic fundamental groups play a very important role in number theory. Algebraic geometry provides the most fruitful known source of information conc...
متن کاملSelf-similar fractals and arithmetic dynamics
The concept of self-similarity on subsets of algebraic varieties is defined by considering algebraic endomorphisms of the variety as `similarity' maps. Self-similar fractals are subsets of algebraic varieties which can be written as a finite and disjoint union of `similar' copies. Fractals provide a framework in which, one can unite some results and conjectures in Diophantine g...
متن کاملOn the Arithmetic of the Bc-system
For each prime p and each embedding σ of the multiplicative group of an algebraic closure of Fp as complex roots of unity, we construct a p-adic indecomposable representation πσ of the integral BC-system as additive endomorphisms of the big Witt ring of F̄p. The obtained representations are the p-adic analogues of the complex, extremal KMS∞ states of the BC-system. The role of the Riemann zeta f...
