On the distance from a rational power to the nearest integer (Q2490156)

Not many things are known about the distribution modulo 1 of the sequence \(\{\xi(3/2)^n\}\) for given values of \(\xi\). In the nice paper under review the author proves that the interval [0.23, 0.77] contains at least one limit joint of the sequence \(\{\xi(3/2)^n\}\) for any nonzero real number \(\xi\). He also proves that the distance to the nearest integer of \(\xi(p/q)^n\), for any rational \(p/q>1\), has both ``small'' and ``large'' limit points. Similar results hold for \(\xi\alpha^m\), where \(\alpha >1\) is an algebraic number, and \(\xi\neq 0\) is a real number that does not belong to \(\mathbb{Q}(\alpha)\) if \(\alpha\) is a Pisot or a Salem number. Curiously enough the Thue-Morse sequence enters the picture. Please note that three references appeared: [1] see \textit{S. D.
