A Splitting into the Double Cover of SL(3,$\mathbb{R}$)

Abstract

We provide a formula for the splitting of a congruence subgroup of SL$(3,\mathbb{R})$ into the double cover of SL$(3,\mathbb{R})$ in terms of Plücker coordinates and prove that the splitting satisfies a twisted multiplicativity. The existence of this splitting and a formula (in terms of a different set of coordinates) was proved by S.D. Miller in an unpublished note; the formula in terms of Plücker coordinates is advantageous to the computation of the Fourier coefficients of an Eisenstein series on the double cover of SL$(3)$ over $\mathbb{Q}$. The computation of these Fourier coefficients will be addressed in a forthcoming work.

Asymptotic density of k-almost primes

Landau's well known asymptotic formula $$N_k(x):=\ \mid\{n\leq x : Ω(n)=k\}\mid \ \sim \left( \frac{x}{\log x} \right) \frac{(\log\log x)^{k-1}}{(k - 1)!}\ \ (x \rightarrow \infty),$$ which also holds for $$π_k(x):=\ \mid\{n\leq x : ω(n)=k\}\mid,$$ is known to be fairly poor for $k > 1$, and when $k$ is allowed to tend to infinity with $x$, the study of $N_k(x)$ and $π_k(x)$ becomes very technical [1, Chapter II.6, $§$ 6.1, p.200]. I hope to show that the method described below provides not only a more accurate approach, but rather increases in its asymptotic accuracy as $k$ tends to infinity.

Transcendence Meets Normality: Construction of Transcendentally Normal Numbers

In this work, we study real numbers $x$ for which $p(x)$ is (absolutely) normal for every non-constant integer-valued polynomial $p$. We call such numbers transcendentally normal. We prove that almost every real number is transcendentally normal and provide an explicit construction of such a number, based on Sierpinski's covering method and novel ideas involving the so-called stretch function. In the next step, we transform this construction into an algorithm that computes the digits of a t-normal number recursively in all integer bases. Moreover, we extend our covering approach to construct and compute LIL-normal numbers whose discrepancies are of the order predicted by the law of the iterated logarithm. We also take the opportunity to discuss several interesting open problems.
