Individual Gap Measures from Generalized Zeckendorf Decompositions

Zeckendorf's theorem states that every positive integer can be uniquely decomposed as a sum of nonconsecutive Fibonacci numbers. The distribution of the number of summands converges to a Gaussian, and the individual measures on gaps between summands for $m \in [F_n, F_{n+1})$ converge to geometric decay for almost all $m$ as $n\to\infty$. While similar results are known for many other recurrences, previous work focused on proving Gaussianity for the number of summands or the average gap measure. We derive general conditions which are easily checked yield geometric decay in the individual gap measures of generalized Zeckendorf decompositions attached to many linear recurrence relations.

Variation-norm and fluctuation estimates for ergodic bilinear averages

For any dynamical system, we show that higher variation-norms for the sequence of ergodic bilinear averages of two functions satisfy a large range of bilinear Lp estimates. It follows that, with probability one, the number of fluctuations along this sequence may grow at most polynomially with respect to (the growth of) the underlying scale. These results strengthen previous works of Lacey and Bourgain where almost surely convergence of the sequence was proved (which is equivalent to the qualitative statement that the number of fluctuations is finite at each scale). Via transference, the proof reduces to establishing new bilinear Lp bounds for variation-norms of truncated bilinear operators on R, and the main ingredient of the proof of these bounds is a variation-norm extension of maximal Bessel inequalities of Lacey and Demeter--Tao--Thiele.
