Abstract: We study the two-dimensional continued fraction algorithm introduced in cite{garr} and the associated emph{triangle map} $T$, defined on a triangle $rianglesubset{R}^2$. We introduce a slow version of the triangle map, the map $S$, which is ergodic with respect to the Lebesgue measure and preserves an infinite Lebesgue-absolutely continuous invariant measure. We discuss the properties that the two maps $T$ and $S$ share with the classical Gauss and Farey maps on the interval, including an analogue of the weak law of large numbers and of Khinchin's weak law for the digits of the triangle sequence, the expansion associated to $T$. Finally, we confirm the role of the map $S$ as a two-dimensional version of the Farey map by introducing a complete tree of rational pairs, constructed using the inverse branches of $S$, in the same way as the Farey tree is generated by the Farey map, and then, equivalently, generated by a generalised mediant operation.

Review text

A two-dimensional version of a continued fraction introduced by \textit{T. Garrity} [J. Number Theory 88, No. 1, 86--103 (2001; Zbl 1015.11031)] is studied. This defines a map defined on a triangle, and the associated expansions are referred to as triangle sequences. The results here give further parallels between the classical Gauss map and this triangle map. In particular, the role played by the Farey map for the Gauss map finds a parallel in a certain piecewise linear fractional map on the triangle constructed here and shown to preserve an ergodic infinite absolutely continuous measure. Results from infinite ergodic theory are applied to derive weak laws of large numbers and thence an analogue of Khinchin's weak law for the digits of the triangle sequences.
