Arithmetical properties of real numbers related to beta-expansions. (English) Zbl 1443.11147

Funct. Approximatio, Comment. Math. 60, No. 2, 195-226 (2019).
Summary: The main purpose of this paper is to study the arithmetical properties of values \(\sum_{m=0}^{\infty} \beta^{-w(m)}\), where \(\beta\) is a fixed Pisot or Salem number and \(w(m)\) (\(m=0,1,\ldots\)) are distinct sequences of nonnegative integers with \(w(m+1)>w(m)\) for any sufficiently large \(m\). We first introduce the algebraic independence results of such values.
Our results are applicable to certain sequences \(w(m)\) (\(m=0,1,\ldots\)) with \(\lim_{m\to\infty}w(m+1)/w(m)=1.\) For example, we prove that two numbers \[\sum_{m=1}^{\infty}\beta^{-\lfloor \varphi(m)\rfloor}, \quad \sum_{m=3}^{\infty}\beta^{-\lfloor a(m)\rfloor}\] are algebraically independent, where \(\varphi(m)=m^{\log m}\) and \(a(m)=m^{\log\log m}\). Moreover, we also give the linear independence results of real numbers.
Our results are applicable to the values \(\sum_{m=0}^{\infty}\beta^{-\lfloor m^\rho\rfloor}\), where \(\beta\) is a Pisot or Salem number and \(\rho\) is a real number greater than 1.
