Redundancy of minimal weight expansions in Pisot bases

Motivated by multiplication algorithms based on redundant number representations, we study representations of an integer $n$ as a sum $n=\sum_k \epsilon_k U_k$, where the digits $\epsilon_k$ are taken from a finite alphabet $\Sigma$ and $(U_k)_k$ is a linear recurrent sequence of Pisot type with $U_0=1$. The most prominent example of a base sequence $(U_k)_k$ is the sequence of Fibonacci numbers. We prove that the representations of minimal weight $\sum_k|\epsilon_k|$ are recognised by a finite automaton and obtain an asymptotic formula for the average number of representations of minimal weight. Furthermore, we relate the maximal order of magnitude of the number of representations of a given integer to the joint spectral radius of a certain set of matrices

On depth zero L-packets for classical groups

By computing reducibility points of parabolically induced representations, we construct, to within at most two unramified quadratic characters, the Langlands parameter of an arbitrary depth zero irreducible cuspidal representation (Formula presented.) of a classical group (which may be not-quasi-split) over a non-archimedean local field of odd residual characteristic. From this, we can explicitly describe all the irreducible cuspidal representations in the union of one, two, or four (Formula presented.) -packets, containing (Formula presented.). These results generalize the work of DeBacker–Reeder (in the case of classical groups) from regular to arbitrary tame Langlands parameters

Towards MKM in the Large: Modular Representation and Scalable Software Architecture

MKM has been defined as the quest for technologies to manage mathematical knowledge. MKM "in the small" is well-studied, so the real problem is to scale up to large, highly interconnected corpora: "MKM in the large". We contend that advances in two areas are needed to reach this goal. We need representation languages that support incremental processing of all primitive MKM operations, and we need software architectures and implementations that implement these operations scalably on large knowledge bases. We present instances of both in this paper: the MMT framework for modular theory-graphs that integrates meta-logical foundations, which forms the base of the next OMDoc version; and TNTBase, a versioned storage system for XML-based document formats. TNTBase becomes an MMT database by instantiating it with special MKM operations for MMT.Comment: To appear in The 9th International Conference on Mathematical Knowledge Management: MKM 201
