Strategic Diophantine and transcendental number theorist studying rational approximations, parity-vector linear forms, and structural cycle/divergence obstructions in arithmetic dynamical systems.
We establish five unconditional results on the Diophantine, $(2,3)$-adic, and block-renormalization structure of hypothetical positive Collatz cycles. First, sy
For the $n$-step Syracuse random variable $\mathrm{Syrac}_n = \sum_{m=1}^n 3^{m-1} 2^{-s_m} \pmod{3^n}$ with characteristic function $\chi_n(\xi)$ and primitive
We prove the non-existence of non-trivial positive integer Collatz cycles with $m = 94$ or $m = 95$ local-minimum blocks ($m \le 95$), conditional on Barina's $
We study positive integer cycles of the accelerated Syracuse map $U(x)=(3x+1)/2^{v_2(3x+1)}$, focusing primarily on the restricted binary valuation alphabet $\m
