Abstract:A real number $ alpha$ is said to be $ b$-normal if every $ m$-long string of digits appears in the base-$ b$ expansion of $ alpha$ with limiting frequency $ b^{-m}$. We prove that $ alpha$ is $ b$-normal if and only if it possesses no base-$ b$ ``hot spot'. In other words, $ alpha$ is $ b$-normal if and only if there is no real number $ y$ such that smaller and smaller neighborhoods of $ y$ are visited by the successive shifts of the base-$ b$ expansion of $ alpha$ with larger and larger frequencies, relative to the lengths of these neighborhoods.
