数论和几何群论中的一个反问题

An inverse problem in number theory and geometric group theory

Melvyn B. Nathanson

摘要:

本文描述了组合数论与几何之间的一种新的联系。主要结果是:A是互素正整数的有限集当且仅当A =(K-K)\cap N,其中K是紧实数集,使得对每个实数x,在K中存在y,x \equiv y mod 1.在一个方向上,给定一个互素正整数的有限集A,证明构造一个适当的紧集合K,使得A =(K-K)\cap N。另一方面,应用几何群论中一个基本定理的强形式,证明了当K满足适当的几何条件时,(K-K)\cap N是有限的互素正整数集.并讨论了一些相关结果和尚待解决的问题。

英文摘要:

This paper describes a new link between combinatorial number theory and geometry. The main result states that A is a finite set of relatively prime positive integers if and only if A = (K-K) \cap N, where K is a compact set of real numbers such that for every real number x there exists y in K with x \equiv y mod 1. In one direction, given a finite set A of relatively prime positive integers, the proof constructs an appropriate compact set K such that A = (K-K) \cap N. In the other direction, a strong form of a fundamental theorem in geometric group theory is applied to prove that (K-K)\cap N is a finite set of relatively prime positive integers if K satisfies the appropriate geometrical conditions. Some related results and open problems are also discussed.
