Number Theory Seminar - Joseph Vandehey
Title: When multiplying by 2 is a hard thing to doSpeaker: Joseph Vandehey (The Ohio State University)Abstract: Continued fractions react in surprisingly complex fashion to simple operations like multiplying by 2 or adding 1/3. While we have algorithms that allow us to handle such things computationally, it's not clear how these operations affect continued fractions from a theoretical framework. We will show that the property of normality is preserved under these operations, extending a famous result of Wall. There will be substantial overlap with ergodic theory.Seminar URL: https://research.math.osu.edu/numbertheory/number.php
