We characterize renormalizability arithmetically, and study its relationships with a geometrical quantity that we call the drift vector. We exhibit some examples of renormalizable interval exchange maps with zero and non-zero drift vector, and carry out some investigations of their properties. In particular, we look for evidence of the finite decomposition property: each lattice is the union of finitely many orbits.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2007-05-08T12:17:02.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "37E05", "11Z05", "37E20" ], "keywords": [ "algebraic number fields", "geometric representation", "interval exchange transformations", "non-zero drift vector", "finite decomposition property" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "publication": { "journal": "Nonlinearity", "year": 2008, "month": "Jan", "volume": 21, "number": 1, "pages": 149 }, "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 34, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2008Nonli..21..149P" } } }
