CMFT-MS 15094 The parabola theorem on continued fractions
نویسنده
چکیده
Using geometric methods borrowed from the theory of Kleinian groups, we interpret the parabola theorem on continued fractions in terms of sequences of Möbius transformations. This geometric approach allows us to relate the Stern–Stolz series, which features in the parabola theorem, to the dynamics of certain sequences of Möbius transformations acting on three-dimensional hyperbolic space. We also obtain a version of the parabola theorem in several dimensions.

On multidimensional generalization of the Lagrange theorem on continued fractions ∗
We prove a multidimensional analogue of the classical Lagrange theorem on continued fractions. As a multidimensional generalization of continued fractions we use Klein polyhedra.
متن کاملA Geometric Representation of Continued Fractions
Inspired by work of Ford, we describe a geometric representation of real and complex continued fractions by chains of horocycles and horospheres in hyperbolic space. We explore this representation using the isometric action of the group of Möbius transformations on hyperbolic space, and prove a classical theorem on continued fractions.

متن کامل2 0 Ju l 1 99 4 Generalized Orthogonality and Continued Fractions ∗
The connection between continued fractions and orthogonality which is familiar for J-fractions and T -fractions is extended to what we call R-fractions of type I and II. These continued fractions are associated with recurrence relations that correspond to multipoint rational interpolants. A Favard type theorem is proved for each type. We then study explicit models which lead to biorthogonal rat...
متن کاملEpisturmian morphisms and a Galois theorem on continued fractions
We associate with a word w on a finite alphabet A an episturmian (or Arnoux-Rauzy) morphism and a palindrome. We study their relations with the similar ones for the reversal of w. Then when |A| = 2 we deduce, using the Sturmian words that are the fixed points of the two morphisms, a proof of a Galois theorem on purely periodic continued fractions whose periods are the reversal of each other. Ma...
