Equidistribution of Discrepancy Sequences (Joint with Dolgopyat)
May 16, 11:10—12:00, 2024, -101
Speaker
Omri Sarig (Weizmann Institute of Science)
Abstract
Let \alpha be an irrational number and let J be a sub interval of [0,1]. The discrepancy sequence of J is D(N), where
| D(N):=the number of visits of n\alpha mod 1 to J for 1<n<N minus N | J | . |
Weyl’s Equidistribution Theorem says that D(N)=o(N). But this sequence is not necessarily bounded.
I will characterize the irrationals \alpha of bounded type, for which the discrepancy sequence of the interval [0,1/2] is equidistributed on (1/2)Z . This is joint work with Dima Dolgopyat.
