Abstract

We prove that for certain irrational numbers α, there exist quasi-convex null sequences in the subgroup generated by α+ in the torus.

Acknowledgements

I am deeply indebted to Gabor Lukács for his interest in this topic, for valuable hints toward the first draft of this paper and, in particular, for pointing out a significant simplification of the proof of Corollary 3.4. I also wish to express my deep gratitude to Dikran Dikranjan for many helpful comments concerning the organization of the paper and for the formulation of the Questions 4.5 to 4.7.
