number-theory / Equidistribution mod 1
(ξαn)n≥1 is not uniformly distributed modulo one for Pisot α and ξ in the Cantor set C(α)
The problem is open, and the repository says so: what is proved are criteria for it and two instances, not the general case.
Every compared statement that concludes Problem 10.61 does so for a quadratic setup - a real root α>1 of X2−aX−b whose conjugate has modulus below one - and both instances are quadratic. The arbitrary-degree material is conditional ingredients: for the family Xd−aXd−1−1 the real root exceeding a is shown to be Pisot for a≥3, with a conjugate-modulus bound and a numerical inequality. No compared statement carries those above degree two, because the covering criterion is proved only for quadratic setups.
The covering criterion also leaves quadratic α with route-A exponent at least one undecided, about which nothing is claimed.
