Quasi-convex sequences in the circle and the 3-adic integers

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: In this paper, we present families of quasi-convex sequences converging to zero in the circle group T, and the group J_3 of 3-adic integers. These sequences are determined by an increasing sequences of integers. For an increasing sequence underline{a}={a_n} of integers, put g_n=a_{n+1}-a_n. We prove that: (a) the set {0}cup{pm 3^{-(a_n+1)} : nin N} is quasi-convex in T if and only if a_0>0 and g_n>1 for every nin N; (b) the set {0}cup{pm 3^{a_n} : nin N} is quasi-convex in the group J_3 of 3-adic integers if and only if g_n>1 for every nin N. Moreover, we solve an open problem of Dikranjan and de Leo by providing a complete characterization of the sequences underline{a} such that {0}cup{pm 2^{-(a_n+1)} : nin N} is quasi-convex in T. Using this result, we also obtain a characterization of the sequences underline{a} such that the set {0}cup{pm 2^{-(a_n+1)} : nin N} is quasi-convex in R.
