Résumé Paramètres excetionnels de transformations linéaires mod un et arties fractionnaires {ξ(/) n } Nous étudions aramètres excetionnels de transformations linéaires mod un. La résente note rouve ue l ensemble de ces valeurs a Hausdorff dimension zéro. Cela réond à la uestion osée ar Bugeaud. Pour citer cet article : D.Y. Kwon, C. R. Acad. Sci. Paris, Ser. I??? (201?). 1. Introduction Let { } denote the fractional art. For an interval [s, s + t) [0, 1), and corime integers, with > 2, we set Z / (s, s + t) := {ξ > 0 : s {ξ(/) n } < s + t for all integers n 0}. A well-known connection between Waring s roblem and the fractional arts {(3/2) n } leaded Mahler, in [13], to consider a real number ξ Z 3/2 (0, 1/2). Mahler called such a hyothetical number a Z-number. He roved that there are at most countably many Z-numbers, but was unable to determine whether Z 3/2 (0, 1/2) is emty or not. A series of researches since then tell us that, let alone Mahler s original Z-number roblem, it is nontrivial enough to determine whether Z / (s, s + 1 ) is emty or not [5,1,3]. address: doyong@jnu.ac.kr (DoYong Kwon).

2 The resent note is another small ste in this direction. It is worthwhile to mention here that if = 1 then the set Z /1 (s, s + 1 ) is now comletely understood thanks to Bugeaud and Dubickas [2]. Let τ [0, 1) be real. For any k Z, ut ε k (τ) := kτ (k 1)τ, where denotes the integral art. Proosition 1.1 ([1]) Let > 2 be corime integers. Then the set Z / (s, s + 1 ) is emty if there exists a reduced rational a/b with b > a 1 such that ) k ( ) b k=1 ε k(a/b) + ) k ( ) b 1 k=1 ε k(a/b) + ( ( ) b 1 {( )s} ( ( ) b 1. And the set of s satisfying the ineuality is of full Lebesgue measure in [0, 1 1 ]. Conversely, if Z /(s, s+ 1 ) is nonemty for some s [0, 1 1 ], then there exists an irrational τ (0, 1) such that {( )s} = ( ) k ε k (τ). Later, in [3], Dubickas showed that the set Z / (s, s + 1 ) is actually emty for every s [0, 1 1 ] rovided and satisfy 1 < < < 2. In articular, the set Z 3/2 (s, s ) is emty for each s [0, 2 3 ]. In the case of > 2, the determination of whether or not the set Z / (s, s + 1 ) is emty still remains oen. Bugeaud obtained the above roosition by a careful study of linear mod one transformations. For real numbers β > 1 and 0 α < 1, the linear mod one transformation f β,α is defined by Via setting k=1 f β,α (x) := {βx + α} for x [0, 1). S β,α := {x [0, 1) : 0 f n β,α(x) < 1/β for all n 0}, the linear mod one transformation enters the icture as the next roosition says. Proosition 1.2 ([5]) Let > 2 be corime integers and s [0, 1 1 ]. If S /,{( )s} is a finite set, then the set Z / (s, s + 1 ) is emty. Therefore, we have a good reason to secify the following set: for a fixed β > 1, E β := {α [0, 1) : S β,α is an infinite set}. Flatto et al. [5] susected that E β has Lebesgue measure zero and is a nonemty erfect set. But the erfectness of E β turns out to be false. For β > 1, ut γ = 1/β. We define intervals Jb a(γ) by J 1 1 (γ) := [γ, 1), and by [ Jb a k=1 (γ) := ε k(a/b)γ k + γ b ] k=1 1 + γ + + γ b 1, ε k(a/b)γ k + γ b γ + + γ b 1, for corime integers b > a 1. One observes that if β = / then the interval Jb a (γ) is given by the ineuality in Proosition 1.1. b 1 1. In [1, Lemma3], k=1 was used instead of k=1, which, however, makes no difference because ε (b 1)(a/b) = 0. We adot here to make the notation coherent with Proosition 1.1. k=1 2
3 Proosition 1.3 ([1]) For any real β > 1, the set E β has Lebesgue measure zero, is uncountable, and is not closed. More recisely, E β = [0, 1) \ Jb a (γ). 1 a b gcd(a,b)=1 Owing to this result, one notes that the set Z / (s, s + 1 ) is emty, ossibly excet when s lies in a Lebesgue negligible set. In [1, Remark 3], Bugeaud osed a roblem to determine the Hausdorff dimension of the set E β. The resent note settles this roblem. Main Theorem. The set E β has Hausdorff dimension zero. This comutation is ossible by recognizing the unexected connection with ower series whose coefficient are Sturmian words, which have been investigated by the author [7,8,10,11]. Note that, in the context of a certain generalization of [2], this tye of ower series aear as well [9]. 2. Preliminaries on Sturmian words Let Z (res. N) be the set of integers (res. nonnegative integers). For α, ρ [0, 1], two arithmetic functions s α,ρ, s α,ρ : Z A := {0, 1} are defined by s α,ρ (n) := α(n + 1) + ρ αn + ρ, s α,ρ(n) := α(n + 1) + ρ αn + ρ, where denotes the ceiling function. Then two (right) infinite words s α,ρ := s α,ρ (0)s α,ρ (1) and s α,ρ := s α,ρ(0)s α,ρ(1) are termed lower and uer mechanical words, resectively, with sloe α and intercet ρ. The bi-infinite mechanical words are also considered and written as s α,ρ := s α,ρ ( 1)s α,ρ (0)s α,ρ (1), s α,ρ := s α,ρ( 1)s α,ρ(0)s α,ρ(1), where the zeroth letters are marked with underlines. If α is irrational, then s α,ρ and s α,ρ are called Sturmian words. The case of ρ = 0 is of our secial interest, which is stated as a lemma below. For any finite word u A, we write ũ for its reversal, and a word u satisfying ũ = u is said to be a alindrome. We mean by u ω := uuu (res. ω u := uuu) the right (res. left) infinite word infinitely concatenated by u. If s A N is a right infinite word, then s is the left infinite word that is defined in a natural manner. Lemma 2.1 Let α [0, 1] be real. (a) If α is irrational, then there exists a right infinite word c α A N such that s α,0 = c α 10c α, and s α,0 = c α 01c α. (b) If α = a/b is rational with gcd(a, b) = 1, then there exists a alindrome z a,b A of length b 2 such that s α,0 = ω (0z a,b 1)0(z a,b 10) ω, and s α,0 = ω (1z a,b 0)1(z a,b 01) ω. PROOF. See [12]. Remark 1 (i) In the lemma, c α and z a,b are called the characteristic word and the central word resectively in the literature. 3
4 (ii) If b = 2, then z a,b is the emty word. In case b = 1, we adot convention that s 0,0 = s 0,0 = ω 000 ω and s 1,0 = s 1,0 = ω 111 ω. For β > 1, let ( ) β send each infinite word a 0 a 1 A N to a real number i=0 a i/β i+1. Then a real function µ β : [0, 1] R is defined by µ β (x) := (s x,0) β = i=0 s x,0(i) β i+1. A detailed real analysis on µ β was ursued in [10,11]. However, the following results are enough for our urose. Proosition 2.2 For any fixed β > 1, the function µ β (x) is strictly increasing. If α [0, 1] is irrational, then the function µ β (x) is continuous at x = α. On the other hand, at rational α 0, µ β (x) is left-continuous but not right-continuous. PROOF. See [11, Lemma 3.1]. Proosition 2.3 Let β > 1 be fixed, and suose that α = a/b [0, 1] is rational with gcd(a, b) = 1. (a) The right limits of µ β (x) at rational oints are given by µ β (0+) = (1(0 ω )) β = 1 β, and by µ β (α+) = (1(z a,b 10) ω ) β. (b) µ β (0+) µ β (0) = 1 β, and µ β (α+) µ β (α) = (1(z a,b 10) ω ) β ((1z a,b 0) ω ) β = β(β b 1). (c) where β 1 β(β b 1) = 1 β 0 a/b<1 gcd(a,b)=1 when a/b = 0/1 = 0. β(β b 1) = 1 = µ β(1), PROOF. In [10], see Lemma 2.3 for (a), Theorem 2.4 for (b), and Theorem 3.1 for (c). Proosition 2.3 says that µ β is a ure jum distribution. Noting that { c τ 10c τ if τ is irrational, ε 1 (τ)ε 0 (τ)ε 1 (τ) = ω (10z a,b )1(0z a,b 1) ω if τ = a/b with gcd(a, b) = 1, Proosition 1.1 can be restated more neatly. Lemma 2.4 Let > 2 be corime integers and ut β = /. Then the set Z / (s, s + 1 ) is emty if there exists a reduced rational a/b with b > a 1 such that µ β (a/b) {( )s} + µ β((a/b)+). Conversely, if Z / (s, s + 1 ) is nonemty for some s [0, 1 1 ], then there exists an irrational τ (0, 1) such that {( )s} + = µ β(τ). 4
5 PROOF. Divided by, the ineuality in Proosition 1.1 becomes which is, in turn, followed by (0(z a,b 01) ω ) β µ β (a/b) = ((1z a,b 0) ω ) β {( )s} {( )s} (0(z a,b 10) ω ) β, + 1 β (1(z a,b10) ω ) β = µ β ((a/b)+). For the case where Z / (s, s + 1 ) is nonemty, a similar argument shows that {( )s} + 1 β = (1c τ ) β = µ β (τ). 3. Proof of Main Theorem Let Ẽβ := µ β ([0, 1] \ Q) be the image of µ β at irrational oints. Lemma 2.4 tells us that E β \ {0} is obtained by translation and then dilation of Ẽβ. More recisely, the same argument as in the roof of Lemma 2.4 derives Ẽ β = 1 E β + 1 β. So we comute the Hausdorff dimension of Ẽ β. Among diverse techniues for calculating Hausdorff dimensions is the following. Lemma 3.1 ([4]) Suose that a set S can be covered by n k sets of diameter at most δ k with lim k δ k = 0. Then log n k dim H S lim inf. k log δ k We recall the Farey seuence. The reader is referred to [6] for details. For ositive integer k, the Farey seuence F k of order k is the seuence of reduced fractions a/b [0, 1] with b k, arranged in increasing order. For examle, F 1 = {0/1, 1/1}, F 2 = {0/1, 1/2, 1/1}, F 3 = {0/1, 1/3, 1/2, 2/3, 1/1},.... The next lemma is one of folklores. Lemma 3.2 ([6]) The number of terms in F k fulfills k F k 1 = Φ(k) := where ϕ is the Euler totient function. We are now in a osition to rove our main theorem. ϕ(i) = 3k2 π 2 + O(k log k), Proof of Main Theorem. We construct a series of collections of sets that cover Ẽβ. For each integer k 1, let F k = {0 = r 1 < r 2 < < r Φ(k) < r Φ(k)+1 = 1} be the Farey seuence of order k. Then a set [0, 1 β 1 ) \ Φ(k) [µ β(r i ), µ β (r i +)] covers Ẽβ, and consists of n k := Φ(k) intervals. Suose r i = a i /b i. Then Proosition 2.3 shows that the diameter of each interval is less than or eual to δ k := 1 Φ(k) β(β bi 1) = 1 k β() 5 b=2 ϕ(b)() β(β b 1),
6 and also that δ k tends to zero as k aroaches infinity. Let us ick a number θ in the interval (1, β). We claim that δ k θ k for all sufficiently large k. Aealing to Proosition 2.3 again, one deduces that ϕ(b)() δ k = β(β b b 1 1) β β b 1 = b k() + 1 = β βb ()β k, b=k+1 b=k+1 where ϕ(b) b 1, and where β b 1 β b 1 as long as k log β (). Now the claim follows. We comute the Hausdorff dimension of Ẽβ: log n k log(3k 2 /π 2 + O(k log k)) dim H Ẽ β lim lim = 0. k log δ k k k log θ 1 That the diameter of each interval in [0, β 1 ) \ Φ(k) [µ β(r i ), µ β (r i +)] is less than or eual to δ k is a very rough estimate. Moreover, δ k tends to zero very uickly. Conseuently, the above roof urges us to introduce thinner measures than the Hausdorff measure. For any set U R n, we write U := su{ x y : x, y U}. Let h : R + R + be a continuous and increasing function. For any set S R n, let us define Hδ h (S) := inf{ h( U i ) : S U i, U i δ}. Then H h (S) := lim δ 0 H h δ (S) is known to be a measure. We have roved, in the above, that Hh (Ẽβ) = 0 whenever h(t) = t s with s > 0. On the other hand, if we set h(t) := ( log t) 2 ε for ε > 0, then H h is much thinner measure than any s-dimensional Hausdorff measure. Since H h δ k (Ẽβ) n k h(δ k ), one deduces b=k H h (Ẽβ) lim n 3k 2 /π 2 + O(k log k) kh(δ k ) lim k k (k log θ) 2+ε = 0. It seems to be a challenge to find a function h for which 0 < H h (Ẽβ) <. Such h is called an (exact) dimension function in the literature. See [4, Section 2.5].
