Infinite Ergodic Theory of Numbers - (De Gruyter Textbook) by Marc Kesseböhmer & Sara Munday & Bernd Otto Stratmann (Paperback)

About the Book

Book Synopsis

By connecting dynamical systems and number theory, this graduate textbook on ergodic theory acts as an introduction to a highly active area of mathematics, where a variety of strands of research open up. The text explores various concepts in infinite ergodic theory, always using continued fractions and other number-theoretic dynamical systems as illustrative examples.

Review Quotes

"The book is carefully written and covers an unconventional but attractive range of topics. There are a large number of exercises throughout, and this would provide the basis for an interesting reading or seminar course for students with some background in measure theory and analysis."
Thomas Ward in: Mathematical Review Clippings 7/2017, p. 1-2
