Arithmetic classification and non-Pisot singularity for Bernoulli convolutions

We give an arithmetic classification of singular and absolutely continuous unbiased Bernoulli convolutions for every parameter \lambda∈(0,1). The criterion is expressed through one-sided approximation by explicitly defined finite sets of algebraic units; it is an infinite approximation condition, not a finite membership algorithm. We also establish singular examples beyond reciprocals of Pisot numbers: singularity holds at the reciprocal of every quartic Salem number in (1,2) and at the reciprocal of a specified non-Pisot root of an explicit degree-31 polynomial.
