Metrical theory of continued fractions
While many excellent books on continued fractions are written, it is rare to see a book exclusively devoted to the metrical theory of these objects. The book under review is one of these rarities. In addition to filling a hole in the mathematical literature, it does this very thoroughly. It gets around most topics related to the metrical theory of continued fractions, from the very beginnings of this theory to cutting-edge developments. The book consists of four chapters and three appendices. In the first chapter, continued fractions are introduced. The Gauss map and the Gauss measure are defined, and it is shown how the map is related to continued fractions. The elementary probabilistic properties of the Gauss map and a number of random processes relating to continued fractions are studied. In addition, Gauss' Problem which is treated in full detail later in the book is introduced. Chapter 2 is the longest chapter of the book and is devoted to Gauss' problem, \textit{i.e.} to the study of the speed of convergence in distribution of iterates of the Gauss map to the Gauss measure. It is studied in great detail through the associated Perron-Frobenius operator on several different Banach spaces. Chapter 3 concerns probabilistic limit theorems on the partial quotients and related processes. Among them, a functional Central Limit Theorem and a Law of the Iterated Logarithm is found. Some extreme value results are also derived. Technical tools needed in the course of this chapter are covered in the three appendices. In Chapter 4, the ergodic theory of the Gauss map and its natural extension is treated. Numerous classical and more recent results are deduced from an ergodic point of view. The process of singularization are treated, leading to a treatment of the more general \(S\)-continued fraction expansions, which includes examples such as Nakada's \(\alpha\)-expansions, Hurwitz' continued fraction expansions and others as special cases. Finally, the process of insertion is introduced, which leads to additional examples of continued fraction expansions. The book is well suited for researchers and advanced graduate students working in the analytic theory of continued fractions, as well as for those working in functional analysis, probability and/or ergodic theory wishing to learn about the world of continued fractions.
