Abstract

We show that Sarnak's conjecture on Möbius disjointness holds for interval exchange transformations on three intervals (3-IETs) that satisfy a mild diophantine condition.

Figure 3. Closing the curves. We complete the vertical segment $\gamma_1$ to a closed curve $\hat{\gamma_1}$ by adding a horizontal segment $\zeta_1$ (drawn in green). Simularly, we close up the horizontal slit $\gamma_2$ to obtain a closed curve $\hat{\gamma}_2$ by adding in a horizontal segment $\zeta_2$ and a vertical segment $\zeta_2'$ (drawn in purple)
