We provide a criterion for determining the winner in two-player win-lose alternating-move games on trees, in terms of the Hausdorff dimension of the target set. We focus our study on special cases, including the Gale-Stewart game on the…
We prove a conjecture of G.A. Margulis on the abundance of certain exceptional orbits of partially hyperbolic flows on homogeneous spaces by utilizing a theory of modified Schmidt games, which are modifications of $(\alpha,\beta)$-games…
A badly approximable system of affine forms is determined by a matrix and a vector. We show Kleinbock's conjecture for badly approximable systems of affine forms: for any fixed vector, the set of badly approximable systems of affine forms…
We show that points on $C^{1}$ curves which are badly approximable by rationals in a number field form a winning set in the sense of W. M. Schmidt. As a consequence, we obtain a number field version of Schmidt's conjecture.
We consider Schmidt's game on the space of compact subsets of a given metric space equipped with the Hausdorff metric, and the space of continuous functions equipped with the supremum norm. We are interested in determining the generic…
We prove that the set of (r_1,r_2,..,r_{d})-badly approximable vectors is a winning set if r_1=r_2=...=r_{d-1}\geq r_{d}.
Let $K$ be a number field, let $S$ be the set of all normalized, non-conjugate Archimedean valuations of $K$, and let $K_{S} = \prod_{v \in S} K_v$ be the Minkowski space associated with $K$. We strengthen recent results of…
This paper is motivated by Davenport's problem and the subsequent work regarding badly approximable points in submanifolds of a Euclidian space. We study the problem in the area of twisted Diophantine approximation and present two different…
Let $\mathcal{D}=(d_n)_{n=1}^\infty$ be a bounded sequence of integers with $d_n\ge 2$ and let $(i, j)$ be a pair of strictly positive numbers with $i+j=1$. We prove that the set of $x \in \RR$ for which there exists some constant $c(x) >…
Schmidt's game is generally used to deduce qualitative information about the Hausdorff dimensions of fractal sets and their intersections. However, one can also ask about quantitative versions of the properties of winning sets. In this…
In a beta-transformation (for integer beta) or a Gauss map system, given a sequence of functions fn from [0,1] to itself, consider the collection of points in [0,1] whose nth iteration under the map is distanced away from its value under…
Recently, W. M. Schmidt and L. Summerer introduced a new theory which allowed them to recover the main known inequalities relating the usual exponents of Diophantine approximation to a point in $\mathbb{R}^n$, and to discover new ones. They…
We show that the set of numbers with bounded L\"uroth expansions (or bounded L\"uroth series) is winning and strong winning. From either winning property, it immediately follows that the set is dense, has full Hausdorff dimension, and…
In this paper, we manage to apply Schmidt games to certain non-algebraic dynamical systems. More precisely, we show that the set of points with non-dense forward orbit under a $C^2$-Anosov diffeomorphism with conformality on unstable…
We extend the parametric geometry of numbers (initiated by Schmidt and Summerer, and deepened by Roy) to Diophantine approximation for systems of $m$ linear forms in $n$ variables, and establish a new connection to the metric theory via a…
We consider rotational beta expansions in dimensions 1, 2 and 4 and view them as expansions on real numbers, complex numbers, and quaternions, respectively. We give sufficient conditions on the parameters $\alpha, \beta \in (0,1)$ so that…
For any i,j>0 with i+j =1, let Bad(i,j) denote the set of points (x,y) \in R^2 such that max \{ ||qx||^{1/i}, \, ||qy||^{1/j} \} > c/q for some positive constant c = c(x,y) and all q in N. We show that \Bad(i,j) \cap C is winning in the…
We prove that for any $s,t\ge0$ with $s+t=1$ and any $\theta\in\mathbb{R}$ with $\inf_{q\in\mathbb{N}}q^{\frac{1}{s}}\|q\theta\|>0$, the set of $y\in\mathbb{R}$ for which $(\theta,y)$ is $(s,t)$-badly approximable is 1/2-winning for…
We prove a generalization of W.M. Schmidt's theorem related to the Diophantine approximations for a linear form of the type $\alpha_1x_1+\alpha_2x_2 +y$ with {\it positive} integers $x_1,x_2$.
Given $b > 1$ and $y \in \mathbb{R}/\mathbb{Z}$, we consider the set of $x\in \mathbb{R}$ such that $y$ is not a limit point of the sequence $\{b^n x \bmod 1: n\in\mathbb{N}\}$. Such sets are known to have full Hausdorff dimension, and in…
