Possible Birkhoff spectra for irrational rotations
Let $\mathbb{T}=\mathbb{R}/\mathbb{Z}$ be the unit circle (think of it as of the interval $[0,1)$ with endpoints identified). Assume that $\alpha$ is irrational and consider the rotation by $\alpha$, ...

Irrational rotations are rank 2 by intervals without spacers
Let $\alpha$ be an irrational number, and $R_\alpha$ be the rotation by $\alpha$, that is $R_\alpha(x)=x+\alpha\bmod 1$.

Ergodic Theory and Euler-Mascheroni Constant
I am highly interested in doing research on proving irrationality of some specific numbers like Euler-Mascheroni Constant or $\zeta(5)$. A professor guided me that arithmetic nature of constants are a ...

binomial coefficients and irrationals
The following, probably either currently impossible to deal with, or
having a negative solution, arose from an ergodic theory question,
presumably itself currently intractible. I am not a number ...
