Abstract

We study the generalized Flint Hills series $\mathcal{F}_{s,t}(x)=\sum_{n\ge1} n^{-s}|\sin(\pi nx)|^{-t}$ for $s>0$ and $t>1$. An explicit comparison with a series over continued-fraction denominators yields the Hausdorff dimension $\min\{1,2t/(s+t)\}$ of its divergence set. At each critical exponent $\tau=1+s/t>2$ we construct numbers of irrationality exponent $\tau$ realizing both convergence and divergence; the convergent examples establish Meiburg's conjecture in the range $t>1$. Both parts of the critical fibre have Hausdorff dimension $2/\tau$. For $s>t$ and $h_\kappa(r)=r^{2/\tau}(\log(1/r))^\kappa$ we prove that the divergence set has zero $h_\kappa$-measure for $\kappa<-1$ and infinite measure for $\kappa\ge-1$. The divergent part of the critical fibre satisfies the same law, whereas its convergent part has infinite measure for every $\kappa$. The key estimate selects a rapidly growing subsequence of convergent denominators and gives a double-logarithmic bound on the approximation error. The convergence of the classical Flint Hills series $\sum_{n\ge1}(n^3\sin^2 n)^{-1}$ remains undecided.

Sharp Summability of Nevanlinna Defects for Finite-Lower-Order Holomorphic Curves

For a countable family of hyperplanes $H_j\subset \mathbb{P}^m$, $j\in\mathbb{N}$, in general position and a linearly nondegenerate holomorphic curve $f\colon \mathbb{C}\to \mathbb{P}^m$ of finite lower order, we prove that the Nevanlinna defects $\delta_f(H_j)$ satisfy $$ \sum_{j=1}^{\infty}\delta_f(H_j)^{1/3}<\infty....

Dimensions of Bedford-McMullen type sets in $\mathbb Z^2$

We study forward orbits in $\mathbb Z^2$ generated by the expanding affine maps $(x,y)\mapsto(mx+i,ny+j)$, where $m\ge n\ge2$ are integers and $(i,j)$ ranges over a nonempty digit set $\Lambda\subseteq\{0,\ldots,m-1\}\times\{0,\ldots,n-1\}$. We obtain explicit formulae for the mass, Beurling, discrete packing, and Asso...

Exact logarithmic Hausdorff and capacity exponents of the non-Brjuno set

Let $\mathcal{N}$ be the set of non-Brjuno real numbers. We determine the exact critical exponent of $\mathcal{N}$ for both logarithmic Hausdorff measure and logarithmic capacity. For the gauges $h_\delta(r)=(\log(1/r))^{-\delta}$, the critical exponent is $2$: the $h_\delta$-Hausdorff measure is infinite locally for $...

Regularity, quantitative deviation, and non-rigidity of a lacunary skew product

Let $\alpha$ be irrational and let $q_j$ be the denominators of its continued-fraction convergents. We study the function \[ h(x)=\sum_{j\geq1}\frac{\cos(2\pi q_jx)}{q_j} \] and the skew product \[f(x,y)=(x+\alpha,y+h(x))\quad\mathrm{mod}\quad\mathbb{Z}^2.\] The function $h$ is H\"older continuous of every exponent bel...

Hausdorff Dimension of the Set of Extreme Points of a Random Countable Stable Zonotope

Let $d\geq 2$, $0<\alpha<1$, and let $\Gamma_k$ be the successive arrival times of a standard Poisson process on $(0,\infty)$. Given independent uniform directions $\varepsilon_k\in S^{d-1}$, independent of $(\Gamma_k)$, we consider the random countable stable zonotope $Z_\alpha=\bigoplus_{k=1}^{\infty}\Gamma_k^{-1/\al...

The Zygmund conjecture and Rey's exponential integrability conjecture

We prove the Zygmund conjecture in all parameters: the maximal operator associated with products of cubes with side lengths $(s_1,\ldots,s_{m-1},\phi(s_1,\ldots,s_{m-1}))$, where $\phi$ is any positive coordinatewise nondecreasing function, satisfies the weak $L(\log L)^{m-2}$ estimate for every $m\geq3$. The estimate...
