This is a survey article describing some recent results at the interface of homogeneous dynamics and Diophantine approximation.
The present paper is concerned with equidistribution results for certain flows on homogeneous spaces and related questions in Diophantine approximation. Firstly, we answer in the affirmative, a question raised by Kleinbock, Shi and Weiss…
Assume M is a closed connected smooth manifold and H:T^*M->R a smooth proper function bounded from below. Suppose the sublevel set {H<d} contains the zero section and \alpha is a non-trivial homotopy class of free loops in M. Then for…
In this paper we develop the convergence theory of simultaneous, inhomogeneous Diophantine approximation on manifolds. A consequence of our main result is that if the manifold $M \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ is of dimension strictly greater than…
We present a sharpening of nondivergence estimates for unipotent (or more generally polynomial-like) flows on homogeneous spaces. Applied to metric Diophantine approximation, it yields precise formulas for Diophantine exponents of affine…
Let $G/\Gamma$ be the quotient of a semisimple Lie group by an arithmetic lattice. We show that for reductive subgroups $H$ of $G$ that is large enough, the orbits of $H$ on $G/\Gamma$ intersect nontrivially with a fixed compact set. As a…
We study the general problem of equidistribution of expanding translates of an analytic curve by an algebraic diagonal flow on the homogeneous space $G/\Gamma$ of a semisimple algebraic group $G$. We define two families of algebraic…
Let (X,d) be a metric space and (\Omega, d) a compact subspace of X which supports a non-atomic finite measure m. We consider `natural' classes of badly approximable subsets of \Omega. Loosely speaking, these consist of points in \Omega…
In recent years, the ergodic theory of group actions on homogeneous spaces has played a significant role in the metric theory of Diophantine approximation. We survey some recent developments with special emphasis on Diophantine properties…
We give here a result of diophantine approximation between $\O_N$, the ring of power series in several variables, and the completion of the valuation ring that dominates $\O_N$ for the $\m$-adic topology. We deduce from this that the Artin…
Given $n\in N$ and $x,\gamma\in R$, let \begin{equation*} ||\gamma-nx||^\prime=\min\{|\gamma-nx+m|:m\in Z, \gcd (n,m)=1\}, \end{equation*} %where $(n,m)$ is the largest common divisor of $n$ and $m$. Two conjectures in the coprime…
The main goal of this work is to establish quantitative nondivergence estimates for flows on homogeneous spaces of products of real and $p$-adic Lie groups. These results have applications both to ergodic theory and to Diophantine…
In twisted Diophantine approximation, for a fixed $m\times n$ matrix $\boldsymbol\alpha$ one is interested in sets of vectors $\boldsymbol\beta\in\mathbb R^m$ such that the system of affine forms $\mathbb R^n \ni \mathbf q \mapsto…
We show that almost nonnegatively curved m-dimensional manifolds are, up to finite cover, nilpotent spaces in the sense of homotopy theory and have C(m)-nilpotent fundamental groups. We also show that up to a finite cover almost…
Let $X = G/\Gamma$, where $G$ is a Lie group and $\Gamma$ is a lattice in $G$, and let $U$ be a subset of $X$ whose complement is compact. We use the exponential mixing results for diagonalizable flows on $X$ to give upper estimates for the…
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…
We propose in these notes a list of some old and new questions related to quasi-periodic dynamics. A main aspect of quasi-periodic dynamics is the crucial influence of arithmetics on the dynamical features, with a strong duality in general…
The inhomogeneous Khintchine-Groshev Theorem is a classical generalization of Khintchine's Theorem in Diophantine approximation, by approximating points in $\mathbb{R}^m$ by systems of linear forms in $n$ variables. Analogous to the…
A profound link between Homogeneous Dynamics and Diophantine Approximation is based on an observation that Diophantine properties of a real matrix $B$ are encoded by the corresponding lattice $\Lambda_B$ translated by a multi-parameter…
We establish the convergence theory of multiplicative Diophantine approximation for all non-degenerate, smooth manifolds. We also settle said convergence theory for all affine subspaces satisfying a highly generic and essentially optimal…
