A typical Riesz product on the circle is the weak* limitwhere – 1 ≤ rk ≤ 1, øk ∈ R, λT is Haar measure, and the positive integers nk satisfy nk+1/nk ≥ 3. A classical result of Zygmund (11) implies that either µ is absolutely continuous with respect to λT (when ) or µ is purely singular (when ).

AbstractLet {λj}j≥0 be a sequence of positive integers such that λj+1/λj≥3 and {aj}j≥0 a sequence of complex numbers such that |aj|≤1. Let μ be the Riesz product πj≥0[1+ Re(ajeiλjx)], that is, the weak limit of measures on T the density of which are the partial products. Then if Σj≥0|aj|2≤∞ the series Σj≥0 aj(eiλjx - ½āj) converges for μ-almost every x. The μ-a.e. convergence of series Σ ajeinλjx is also investigated as well as the case of Riesz products on a compact commutative group.

For a real number λ, ‖λ‖ is the absolute value of the difference between λ and the nearest integer. Let X represent the m-tuple (x1, x2, … xm) and letbe any n linear forms in m variables, where the Θij are real numbers. The following is a classical result of Khintchine (1):For all pairs of positive integers m, n there is a positive constant Г(m, n) with the property that for any forms Lj(X) there exist real numbers α1, α2, …, αn such thatfor all integers x1, x2, …, xm not all zero.

Background. Riesz products are very useful for the construction of singular measures on compact, Abelian groups. Under some circumstances, two Riesz products are either equivalent or singular in the measure-theoretic sense. Exact knowledge of these circumstances has been of major interest ever since the 1930s, when Riesz's famous example (8) was recognized as a fertile source of examples of singular continuous measures. Zygmund(11) showed that any Riesz product over a Hadamard dissociate subset of ℕ is either a square integrable function or singular with respect to Lebesgue measure. Hewitt–Zuckerman(4) generalized these products to all compact, Abelian groups, introducing the notion of a dissociate subset. They extended Zygmund's result in certain cases. The next major step was taken by Brown–Moran(3) and Peyrière(6), (7), who showed that two Riesz productsare mutually singular ifThe author (9) has improved another result of Brown–Moran (3) by showing that µa and µb are equivalent if

Let θ > 0 and α ≠ 0 be real numbers, and let θ be irrational. Khintchine has shown, by the use of continued fractions, that there is an infinite number of pairs of positive integers (p, q) which satisfy the inequalityfor any given K > 5−½; and, more recently, Jogin has shown the same is still true with K = 5−½. The condition that p and q shall be positive is, of course, essential, as otherwise there is the classical result K = ¼ due to Minkowski.

For any positive integers n and v letwhere d runs through all the positive divisors of n. For each positive integer k and real x > 1, denote by N(v, k; x) the number of positive integers n ≦ x for which σv(n) is not divisible by k. Then Watson [6] has shown that, when v is odd,as x → ∞; it is assumed here and throughout that v and k are fixed and independent of x. It follows, in particular, that σ (n) is almost always divisible by k. A brief account of the ideas used by Watson will be found in § 10.6 of Hardy's book on Ramanujan [2].

Our main result is that if G(x1, …, xn) = 0 is a system of homogeneous equations such that for every partition of the positive integers into finitely many classes there are distinct y1,…, yn in one class such that G(y1, …, yn) = 0, then, for every partition of the positive integers into finitely many classes there are distinct Z1, …, Zn in one class such thatIn particular, we show that if the positive integers are split into r classes, then for every n ≥ 2 there are distinct positive integers x1, x1, …, xn in one class such thatWe also show that if [1, n6 − (n2 − n)2] is partitioned into two classes, then some class contains x0, x1, …, xn such that(Here, x0, x2, …, xn are not necessarily distinct.)

Let {Xn} (n = 1, 2 , …) be a stochastic process. The random variables comprising it or the process itself will be said to be interchangeable if, for any choice of distinct positive integers i 1, i 2, H 3 … , ik, the joint distribution of depends merely on k and is independent of the integers i 1, i 2, … , i k. It was shown by De Finetti (3) that the probability measure for any interchangeable process is a mixture of probability measures of processes each consisting of independent and identically distributed random variables.

AbstractLet denote the Dedekind eta function. We use a recent productto- sum formula in conjunction with conditions for the non-representability of integers by certain ternary quadratic forms to give explicitly ten eta quotientssuch that the Fourier coefficients c(n) vanish for all positive integers n in each of infinitely many non-overlapping arithmetic progressions. For example, we show that if we have c(n) = 0 for all n in each of the arithmetic progressions

Let Σ be a σ-algebra of subsets of some set Ω and let μ:Σ→[0,∞] be a σ-additive measure. If Σ(μ) denotes the set of all elements of Σ with finite μ-measure (where sets equal μ-a.e. are identified in the usual way), then a metric d can be defined in Σ(μ) by the formulahere E ΔF = (E\F) ∪ (F\E) denotes the symmetric difference of E and F. The measure μ is called separable whenever the metric space (Σ(μ), d) is separable. It is a classical result that μ is separable if and only if the Banach space L1(μ), is separable [8, p.137]. To exhibit non-separable measures is not a problem; see [8, p. 70], for example. If Σ happens to be the σ-algebra of μ-measurable sets constructed (via outer-measure μ*) by extending μ defined originally on merely a semi-ring of sets Γ ⊆ Σ, then it is also classical that the countability of Γ guarantees the separability of μ and hence, also of L1(μ), [8, p. 69].
