This study revisits coding theory and continued fractions, introducing integer n-coloring. This method simplifies coding rotations on tori using linear flows and geometric renormalization techniques.
Area of Science:
- Number Theory
- Dynamical Systems
- Ergodic Theory
Background:
- The study revisits the coding theory of rotations and the continued fractions algorithm.
- It considers integer two-coloring with a specific proportion of colors.
Purpose of the Study:
- To define even n-coloring of integers.
- To develop a geometric approach to renormalization on tori.
Main Methods:
- Revisiting coding theory of rotations and their relation to flows.
- Analyzing the continued fractions algorithm via integer coloring.
- Defining and applying integer n-coloring.
- Utilizing linear flows on the n-torus.
- Employing first return maps on coding regions for renormalization.
Main Results:
- A novel definition of integer n-coloring is established.
- Rotations on the (n-1)-torus can be coded using linear flows on the n-torus.
- A simple geometric approach to renormalization on tori is achieved.
Conclusions:
- Integer n-coloring provides a unified framework for coding rotations and renormalization.
- The geometric approach offers new insights into the dynamics of tori and continued fractions.
