Abstract

For given ϵ>0\epsilon>0 and bRmb\in\mathbb{R}^m, we say that a real m×nm\times n matrix AA is ϵ\epsilon-badly approximable for the target bb if lim infqZn,qqnAqbmϵ,\liminf_{q\in\mathbb{Z}^n, \|q\|\to\infty} \|q\|^n \langle Aq-b \rangle^m \geq \epsilon, where \langle \cdot \rangle denotes the distance from the nearest integral point. In this article, we obtain upper bounds for the Hausdorff dimensions of the set of ϵ\epsilon-badly approximable matrices for fixed target bb and the set of ϵ\epsilon-badly approximable targets for fixed matrix AA. Moreover, we give an equivalent Diophantine condition of AA for which the set of ϵ\epsilon-badly approximable targets for fixed AA has full Hausdorff dimension for some ϵ>0\epsilon>0. The upper bounds are established by effectivizing entropy rigidity in homogeneous dynamics, which is of independent interest. For the AA-fixed case, our method also works for the weighted setting where the supremum norms are replaced by certain weighted quasinorms.
