The geodesic continued fraction for Shimura curves and its periodicity: the case of the (2, 3, 7)-triangle group

摘要

In this paper we study the geodesic continued fraction in the case of the Shimura curve coming from the (2, 3, 7)-triangle group. We construct a certain continued fraction expansion of real numbers using the so-called coding of the geodesics on the Shimura curve, and prove the Lagrange type periodicity theorem for the expansion which captures the fundamental relative units of quadratic extensions of \({\mathbb {Q}}(\cos (2\pi /7))\) Q ( cos ( 2 π / 7 ) ) with rank one relative unit groups. We also discuss the convergence of these continued fractions.
