Can we estimate the error $\left| \frac{1}{N^2} \sum f ( \{ \sqrt{2} m + \sqrt{3} n \} ) - \int_0^1 f(x) \, dx \right|$?
As a computer experiment I did a few Riemannian sums to see if I could quantify the density statement $\overline{\mathbb{Q}(\sqrt{2}, \sqrt{3})} = \mathbb{R}$ :
$$ \Big| \frac{1}{N^2} \sum_{0 \leq m,...

Distribution of the Error term in GH Hardy's "curious result" $\sum_{\nu \leq n } \{ \nu \theta \}^2 = \tfrac{1}{12} n + O(1)$
In an early paper, GH Hardy talks about the distribution of "curious" sum:
$$ \sum_{\nu \leq n } \{ \nu \theta \}^2 = \tfrac{1}{12} n + O(1)$$
where $\{x\}:=x-\left \lfloor x \right \rfloor -1/2$. ...

How to find representatives of $SL(2,\mathbb{R})/SL(2, \mathbb{Z})$
While reading about the Teichmuller flow, I am reading about the space of lattices $SL(2,\mathbb{R})/SL(2, \mathbb{Z})$.
I could not a find a good way of computing the Teichmuller flow on this ...
