Some dynamics in real quadratic fields with applications to inhomogeneous minima

Abstract: Let

K

be a real quadratic field. We use a symbolic coding of the action of a fundamental unit on the real

2

-torus associated to

K

to study the family of subsets

X_{t}

of norm distance

g e q t

from the origin. As an application, we prove that inhomogeneous spectrum of

K

contains a dense set of elements of

K

, and conclude that all isolated inhomogeneous minima lie in

K

.
