    Inverse problems of symbolic dynamics

    This paper reviews some results regarding symbolic dynamics, correspondence between languages of dynamical systems and combinatorics. Sturmian sequences provide a pattern for investigation of one-dimensional systems, in particular interval exchange transformation. Rauzy graphs language can express many important combinatorial and some dynamical properties. In this case combinatorial properties are considered as being generated by substitutional system, and dynamical properties are considered as criteria of superword being generated by interval exchange transformation. As a consequence, one can get a morphic word appearing in interval exchange transformation such that frequencies of letters are algebraic numbers of an arbitrary degree. Concerning multydimensional systems, our main result is the following. Let P(n) be a polynomial, having an irrational coefficient of the highest degree. A word ww (w=(w_n), n\in \nit) consists of a sequence of first binary numbers of {P(n)}\{P(n)\} i.e. wn=[2{P(n)}]w_n=[2\{P(n)\}]. Denote the number of different subwords of ww of length kk by T(k)T(k) . \medskip {\bf Theorem.} {\it There exists a polynomial Q(k)Q(k), depending only on the power of the polynomial PP, such that T(k)=Q(k)T(k)=Q(k) for sufficiently great kk.

    Non-relativistic limit of multidimensional gravity: exact solutions and applications

    It is found the exact solution of the Poisson equation for the multidimensional space with topology M3+d=R3×TdM_{3+d}=\mathbb{R}^3\times T^d. This solution describes smooth transition from the newtonian behavior 1/r31/r_3 for distances bigger than periods of tori (the extra dimension sizes) to multidimensional behavior 1/r3+d1+d1/r^{1+d}_{3+d} in opposite limit. In the case of one extra dimension d=1d=1, the gravitational potential is expressed via compact and elegant formula. These exact solutions are applied to some practical problems to get the gravitational potentials for considered configurations. Found potentials are used to calculate the acceleration for point masses and gravitational self-energy.It is proposed models where the test masses are smeared over some (or all) extra dimensions. In 10-dimensional spacetime with 3 smeared extra dimensions, it is shown that the size of 3 rest extra dimensions can be enlarged up to submillimeter for the case of 1TeV fundamental Planck scale MPl(10)M_{Pl(10)}. In the models where all extra dimensions are smeared, the gravitational potential exactly coincides with the newtonian one regardless of size of the extra dimensions. Nevertheless, the hierarchy problem can be solved in these models.Comment: LaTex file, 18 pages, 4 figure

    On cogrowth function of algebras and its logarithmical gap

    Full text link
    Let AkX/IA \cong k\langle X \rangle / I be an associative algebra. A finite word over alphabet XX is II{\it-reducible} if its image in AA is a kk-linear combination of length-lexicographically lesser words. An {\it obstruction} in a subword-minimal II-reducible word. A {\em cogrowth} function is number of obstructions of length n\le n. We show that the cogrowth function of a finitely presented algebra is either bounded or at least logarithmical. We also show that an uniformly recurrent word has at least logarithmical cogrowth.Comment: 5 page
