In particular, this paper shows that integer multiplication of a continued fraction can be represented by replacing one triangulation of an orbifold with another triangulation. This method is used to show that eventually periodic continued fractions have partial quotients which have exponential growth when iteratively multiplied by $n$, for $n$ any fixed, natural number.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2018-09-25T19:14:38.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "adic littlewood conjecture", "geometric interpretation", "integer multiplication", "triangulation", "eventually periodic continued fractions" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
