Popis: Riemann's non-differentiable function is one of the most famous examples of continuous but nowhere differentiable functions, but it has also been shown to be relevant from a physical point of view. Indeed, it satisfies the Frisch-Parisi multifractal formalism, which establishes a relationship with turbulence and implies some intermittent nature. It also plays a surprising role as a physical trajectory in the evolution of regular polygonal vortices that follow the binormal flow. With this motivation, we focus on one more classic tool to measure intermittency, namely the fourth-order flatness, and we refine the results that can be deduced from the multifractal analysis to show that it diverges logarithmically. We approach the problem in two ways: with structure functions in the physical space and with high-pass filters in the Fourier space.
