In this note we investigate three kinds of applications of the Painlev\'e-Kuratowski convergence of closed sets in analysis that are motivated also by questions from singularity theory. Firstly, we generalise to Lipschitz functions the…

Let $\mu$ be a Gibbs measure of the doubling map $T$ of the circle. For a $\mu$-generic point $x$ and a given sequence $\{r_n\} \subset \R^+$, consider the intervals $(T^nx - r_n \pmod 1, T^nx + r_n \pmod 1)$. In analogy to the classical…

Metric Diophantine approximation in its classical form is the study of how well almost all real numbers can be approximated by rationals. There is a long history of results which give partial answers to this problem, but there are still…

In this note, we review the history of Khintchine's Theorem which is the foundation of metric Diophantine approximation, and discuss several generalizations and recent breakthroughs in this area. We focus particularly on the direction of…

We prove new quantitative Schmidt-type theorem for Diophantine approximations with restraint denominators on fractals (more precisely, on $M_0$-sets). Our theorems introduce a sharp balance condition between the growth rate of the sequence…

We establish effective convergence rates in the Doeblin-Lenstra law, describing the limiting distribution of approximation coefficients arising from continued fraction convergents of a typical real number. More generally, we prove…

Diophantine approximation is traditionally the study of how well real numbers are approximated by rationals. We propose a model for studying Diophantine approximation in an arbitrary totally bounded metric space where the rationals are…

The celebrated L\'evy--Khintchine theorem is a fundamental limiting law that describes the growth rate of the denominators of the convergents in the continued fraction expansion of a Lebesgue-typical real number. In a recent breakthrough,…

A Hausdorff measure version of the Duffin-Schaeffer conjecture in metric number theory is introduced and discussed. The general conjecture is established modulo the original conjecture. The key result is a Mass Transference Principle which…

We explain how the Transference Principles from Diophantine approximation can be interpreted in terms of geometry of the locally symmetric spaces $T_n=SO(n) \backslash SL(n,R) /SL(n,Z)$ with $n>1$, and how, via this dictionary, they become…

Let $W(\p)$ denote the set of $\p$-well approximable points in $\R^d$ and let $K$ be a compact subset of $\R^d$ which supports a measure $\mu$. In this short note, we show that if $\mu$ is an `absolutely friendly' measure and a certain…

We solve the problem of giving sharp asymptotic bounds on the Hausdorff dimensions of certain sets of badly approximable matrices, thus improving results of Broderick and Kleinbock (preprint 2013) as well as Weil (preprint 2013), and…
