Markoff-Lagrange spectrum uncovers exotic topological properties of Diophantine approximation. We investigate asymptotic properties of geometric progressions modulo one and observe significantly analogous results on the set where is the distance from x to the nearest integer. First, we show that is closed in for any Pisot number α.
Then we consider the case where α is an integer with , or a quadratic unit with . We show that contains a proper interval when α is quadratic but it does not when α is an integer. We also determine the minimum limit point and all isolated points beneath this point. In the course of the proof, we revisit a property studied by Markoff which characterizes bi-infinite balanced words and sturmian words.

Markoff-Lagrange谱和Pisot数的乘法模拟
Markoff-Lagrange光谱揭示了Diophantine逼近的奇异拓扑特性。我们研究模数为1的几何级数的渐近性质,并在集合上观察到明显相似的结果 哪里 是从x到最接近的整数的距离。首先,我们证明 在关闭 对于任何Pisot数α。
然后我们考虑α是一个整数,或具有 。我们证明当α是二次数时,包含一个适当的间隔,但是当α是整数时,它不包含一个适当的间隔。我们还确定最小极限点和该点以下的所有孤立点。在证明过程中,我们将重新审视Markoff研究的属性,该属性表征双无限平衡单词和turmian单词。
