AbstractLet $${\mathcal {M}}$$ M denote the maximal ideal of the ring of integers of a non-Archimedean field K with residue class field k whose invertible elements, we denote $$k^{\times }$$ k × , and a uniformizer we denote $$\pi $$ π . In this paper, we consider the map $$T_{v}: {\mathcal {M}} \rightarrow {\mathcal {M}}$$ T v : M → M defined by $$\begin{aligned} T_v(x) = \frac{\pi ^{v(x)}}{x} - b(x), \end{aligned}$$ T v ( x ) = π v ( x ) x - b ( x ) , where b(x) denotes the equivalence class to which $$\frac{\pi ^{v(x)}}{x}$$ π v ( x ) x belongs in $$k^{\times }$$ k × . We show that $$T_v$$ T v preserves Haar measure $$\mu $$ μ on the compact abelian topological group $${\mathcal {M}}$$ M . Let $${\mathcal {B}}$$ B denote the Haar $$\sigma $$ σ -algebra on $${\mathcal {M}}$$ M . We show the natural extension of the dynamical system $$({\mathcal {M}}, {\mathcal {B}}, \mu , T_v)$$ ( M , B , μ , T v ) is Bernoulli and has entropy $$\frac{\#( k)}{\#( k^{\times })}\log (\#( k))$$ # ( k ) # ( k × ) log ( # ( k ) ) . The first of these two properties is used to study the average behaviour of the convergents arising from $$T_v$$ T v . Here for a finite set A its cardinality has been denoted by $$\# (A)$$ # ( A ) . In the case $$K = {\mathbb {Q}}_p$$ K = Q p , i.e. the field of p-adic numbers, the map $$T_v$$ T v reduces to the well-studied continued fraction map due to Schneider.

Let k be a local field; that is, a complete discrete-valued field having a perfect residue class field. If L is a finite Galois extension of k then L is also a local field. Let G denote the Galois group GL|k. Then the nth ramification group Gn is defined bywhere OL, denotes the ring of integers of L, and PL is the prime ideal of OL. The ramification groups form a descending chain of invariant subgroups of G:1In this paper, an attempt is made to characterize (in terms of the arithmetic of k) the ramification filters (1) obtained from abelian extensions L\k.

Suppose that $G$ is a compact Abelian topological group, $m$ is the Haar measure on $G$ and $f:G\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is a measurable function. Given $(n_{k})$, a strictly monotone increasing sequence of integers, we consider the non-conventional ergodic/Birkhoff averages $$\begin{eqnarray}M_{N}^{\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}}f(x)=\frac{1}{N+1}\mathop{\sum }_{k=0}^{N}f(x+n_{k}\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}).\end{eqnarray}$$ The $f$-rotation set is $$\begin{eqnarray}\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E4}_{f}=\{\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}\in G:M_{N}^{\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}}f(x)\text{ converges for }m\text{ almost every }x\text{ as }N\rightarrow \infty \}.\end{eqnarray}$$We prove that if $G$ is a compact locally connected Abelian group and $f:G\rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ is a measurable function then from $m(\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E4}_{f})>0$ it follows that $f\in L^{1}(G)$. A similar result is established for ordinary Birkhoff averages if $G=Z_{p}$, the group of $p$-adic integers. However, if the dual group, $\widehat{G}$, contains ‘infinitely many multiple torsion’ then such results do not hold if one considers non-conventional Birkhoff averages along ergodic sequences. What really matters in our results is the boundedness of the tail, $f(x+n_{k}\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC})/k$, $k=1,\ldots ,$ for almost every $x$ for many $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FC}$; hence, some of our theorems are stated by using instead of $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E4}_{f}$ slightly larger sets, denoted by $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E4}_{f,b}$.

AbstractWe prove the existence of the limiting distribution for the sequence of denominators generated by continued fraction expansions with even partial quotients, which were introduced by Schweiger [Continued fractions with odd and even partial quotients. Arbeitsberichte Math. Institut Universtät Salzburg4 (1982), 59–70; On the approximation by continues fractions with odd and even partial quotients. Arbeitsberichte Math. Institut Universtät Salzburg1–2 (1984), 105–114] and studied also by Kraaikamp and Lopes [The theta group and the continued fraction expansion with even partial quotients. Geom. Dedicata59(3) (1996), 293–333]. Our main result is proven following the strategy used by Sinai and Ulcigrai [Renewal-type limit theorem for the Gauss map and continued fractions. Ergod. Th. & Dynam. Sys.28 (2008), 643–655] in their proof of a similar renewal-type theorem for Euclidean continued fraction expansions and the Gauss map. The main steps in our proof are the construction of a natural extension of a Gauss-like map and the proof of mixing of a related special flow.

Let K be an algebraically closed field complete with respect to an ultrametric absolute value |.| and let k be its residue class field. We assume k to have characteristic zero (hence K has characteristic zero too).Let D be a clopen bounded infraconnected set [3] in K, let R(D) be the algebra of the rational functions with no pole in D, let ‖.‖D be the norm of uniform convergence on D defined on R(D), and let H(D) be the algebra of the analytic elements on D i.e. the completion of R(D) for the norm ‖.‖D.

The Betti numbers βn(k) of the residue class field k = R/m of a commutative local ring (R, m) have been studied for about 20 years, primarily as the coefficients of the Poincaré series of E . Several authors have obtained results about the growth of the sequence {βn(k)}.For example, Gulliksen [3] showed that when R is non-regular, the sequence is non-decreasing. More recently, Avramov [1] studied asymptotic properties of {βn(k)} and found that under certain conditions the growth is exponential, i.e., there is a natural number p such that for all n, βpn(k) ≧ 2n.In this paper, we examine the sequence {βn(M)} for arbitrary finitely generated non-free modules M over any commutative local artin ring R. We establish the following bounds:123where l(X) is the length of X.

1. Let k denote a local field, that is, a complete discrete-valued field with perfect residue class field . Let G denote the Galois group of the maximal separable algebraic extension M of k, and let g denote the corresponding object over . For a given prime integer p, let G(p) denote the Galois group of the maximal p-extension of k. The dimensions of the cohomology groupsconsidered as vector spaces over the prime field Z/pZ, are equal, respectively, to the rank and the relation rank of the pro-p-group G(p); see [4; 9]. These dimensions are well known in many cases, especially when k is finite [6; 3; (Hoechsmann) 2, pp. 297-304], but also when k has characteristic p, or when k contains a primitive pth root of unity [4, p. 205].

Throughout this note, let R be a discrete valuation ring with prime element π, residue class field , and quotient field K. Let Λ be an R-order in a finite dimensional K-algebra A. A Λ-lattice is an R-free finitely generated left Λ-module. For k > 0, we setwhere M is any Λ-lattice. Obviously, for Λ-lattices M and N,Maranda [1] and D. G. Higman [3] considered the reverse implication, and ProvedTHEOREM. Let Λ be an R-order in a separable K-algebra A. Then there exists a positive integer k (which depends on Λ) with the following property: for each pair of Λ-lattices M and N,Indeed,m it suffices to choose k so thatMaranda proved this result for the special case where Λ is the integral group ring RG of a finite group G.

AbstractWe describe a general method of arithmetic coding of geodesics on the modular surface based on the study of one-dimensional Gauss-like maps associated to a two-parameter family of continued fractions introduced in [Katok and Ugarcovici. Structure of attractors for (a,b)-continued fraction transformations.J. Modern Dynamics4(2010), 637–691]. The finite rectangular structure of the attractors of the natural extension maps and the corresponding ‘reduction theory’ play an essential role. In special cases, when an (a,b)-expansion admits a so-called ‘dual’, the coding sequences are obtained by juxtaposition of the boundary expansions of the fixed points, and the set of coding sequences is a countable sofic shift. We also prove that the natural extension maps are Bernoulli shifts and compute the density of the absolutely continuous invariant measure and the measure-theoretic entropy of the one-dimensional map.
