Some effective results for ×a×b

Abstract

AbstractWe provide effective versions of theorems of Furstenberg and Rudolph–Johnson regarding closed subsets and probability measures of ℝ/ℤ invariant under the action of a non-lacunary multiplicative semigroup of integers. In particular, we give an explicit rate at which the sequence {anbkx}n,k becomes dense for a,b fixed multiplicatively independent integers and x∈ℝ/ℤ Diophantine generic.
