The goal of this paper is to develop the theory of weighted Diophantine approximation of rational numbers to $p$-adic numbers. Firstly, we establish complete analogues of Khintchine's theorem, the Duffin-Schaeffer theorem and the…
The idea of using measure theoretic concepts to investigate the size of number theoretic sets, originating with E. Borel, has been used for nearly a century. It has led to the development of the theory of metrical Diophantine approximation,…
The Duffin--Schaeffer Conjecture answers a question on how well one can approximate irrationals by rational numbers in reduced form (an imposed condition) where the accuracy of the approximation depends on the rational number. It can be…
The Duffin-Schaeffer theorem is a well-known result from metric number theory, which generalises Khinchin's theorem from monotonic functions to a wider class of approximating functions. In recent years, there has been some interest in…
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…
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 develop the metric theory of Diophantine approximation on homogeneous varieties of semisimple algebraic groups and prove results analogous to the classical Khinchin and Jarnik theorems. In full generality our results establish…
We extend the Duffin--Schaeffer conjecture to the setting of systems of $m$ linear forms in $n$ variables. That is, we establish a criterion to determine whether, for a given rate of approximation, almost all or almost no $n$-by-$m$ systems…
We prove analogues of some classical results from Diophantine approximation and metric number theory (namely Dirichlet's theorem and the Duffin--Schaeffer theorem) in the setting of diagonal Diophantine approximation, i.e. approximating…
This paper settles recent conjectures concerning the $p$-adic Haar measure applied to a family of sets defined in terms of Diophantine approximation. This is done by determining the spectrum of measure values for each family and seeing that…
In this paper we consider the probabilistic theory of Diophantine approximation in projective space over a completion of Q. Using the projective metric studied by Bombieri, van der Poorten, and Vaaler we prove the analogue of Khintchine's…
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…
In this paper we establish a general form of the Mass Transference Principle for systems of linear forms conjectured in [1]. We also present a number of applications of this result to problems in Diophantine approximation. These include a…
We present a novel proof of the Duffin-Schaeffer conjecture in metric Diophantine approximation. Our proof is heavily motivated by the ideas of Koukoulopoulos-Maynard's breakthrough first argument, but simplifies and strengthens several…
We prove Haynes' version of the Duffin--Schaeffer conjecture for the $p$-adic numbers. In addition, we prove several results about an associated related but false conjecture, related to $p$-adic approximation in the spirit of Jarn\'ik and…
Given a compact metric space (X,d) equipped with a non-atomic, probability measure m and a real, positive decreasing function p we consider a `natural' class of limsup subsets La(p) of X. The classical limsup sets of `well approximable'…
The use of Hausdorff measures and dimension in the theory of Diophantine approximation dates back to the 1920s with the theorems of Jarnik and Besicovitch regarding well-approximable and badly-approximable points. In this paper we consider…
In this paper we investigate the metrical theory of Diophantine approximation associated with linear forms that are simultaneously small for infinitely many integer vectors; i.e. forms which are close to the origin. A complete…
The Duffin-Schaeffer conjecture is a central open problem in metric number theory. Let $\psi~\mathbb{N} \mapsto \mathbb{R}$ be a non-negative function, and set $\mathcal{E}_n :=\bigcup \left( \frac{a - \psi(n)}{n},\frac{a+\psi(n)}{n}…
By introducing a ubiquity property for rectangles, we prove the mass transference principle from rectangles to rectangles, i.e., if a sequence of rectangles forms a ubiquity system (a full measure property), then the limsup set defined by…
