Sarnak's golden mean conjecture states that (m+1)dϕ(m) 1+ 2 √ 5for all integers m 1, where ϕ is the golden mean and d θ is the discrepancy function for m + 1 multiples of θ modulo 1. In this paper, we characterize the set S of values θ that share this property, as well as the set T of those with the property for some lower bound m M . Remarkably, S mod 1 has only 16 elements, whereas T is the set of GL 2 (Z)-transformations of ϕ. arXiv:2002.03092v1 [math.NT] 8 Feb 2020 * d θ (m) = d 1−θ (m), so θ ∈ S if and only if 1 − θ ∈ S, which is why only 8 values are specified in the table.† It is elementary that θ must have a continued fraction and that it cannot be finite.
