# Title: Bounded error uniformity of the linear flow on the torus

Authors: Bence Borda
Abstract: A linear flow on the torus $\mathbb{R}^d / \mathbb{Z}^d$ is uniformly distributed in the Weyl sense if the direction of the flow has linearly independent coordinates over $\mathbb{Q}$. In this paper we combine Fourier analysis and the subspace theorem of Schmidt to prove bounded error uniformity of linear flows with respect to certain polytopes if, in addition, the coordinates of the direction are all algebraic. In particular, we show that there is no van Aardenne--Ehrenfest type theorem for the mod $1$ discrepancy of continuous curves in any dimension, demonstrating a fundamental difference between continuous and discrete uniform distribution theory.
