For any real pair i, j geq 0 with i+j=1 let Bad(i, j) denote the set of (i, j)-badly approximable pairs. That is, Bad(i, j) consists of irrational vectors x:=(x_1, x_2) in R^2 for which there exists a positive constant c(x) such that max…
Approximation in this paper is of vectors on the unit $d$-cube by the projection of integer lattice points onto the same cube. We define badly approximable vectors on a rational quadratic variety and show that sets of these vectors, which…
For any pair of real numbers $(i,j)$ with $0<i,j<1$ and $i+j=1$, we prove that the set of $p$-adic mixed $(i,j)$-badly approximable numbers $\bad_p(i, j)$ is 1/2-winning in the sense of Schmidt's game. This improves a recent result of…
Let $\boldsymbol{\tau}=(\tau_1,\dots,\tau_m)\in \mathbb{R}_{\ge 0}^m$ satisfy $\sum_{i=1}^m \tau_i>1$ and $\tau_1\ge \cdots \ge \tau_m$ Let $\Psi_{\boldsymbol\tau}=(\psi_1,\dots,\psi_m)$ be given by $$ \psi_i(q)=q^{-\tau_i}, \qquad…
We prove that if $J$ is the limit set of an irreducible conformal iterated function system (with either finite or countably infinite alphabet), then the badly approximable vectors form a set of full Hausdorff dimension in $J$. The same is…
Let C be two times continuously differentiable curve in R^2 with at least one point at which the curvature is non-zero. For any i,j > 0 with i+j =1, let Bad(i,j) denote the set of points (x,y) in R^2 for which max {||qx ||^{1/i},…
For any $i,j \ge 0$ with $i+j =1$, let $\bad(i,j)$ denote the set of points $(x,y) \in \R^2$ for which $ \max \{\|qx\|^{1/i}, \|qy\|^{1/j} \} > c/q $ for all $ q \in \N $. Here $c = c(x,y)$ is a positive constant. Our main result implies…
In this paper we prove that badly approximable points on any analytic non-degenerate curve in $\mathbb{R}^n$ is an absolute winning set. This confirms a key conjecture in the area stated by Badziahin and Velani (2014) which represents a…
We show that badly approximable vectors are exactly those that cannot, for any inhomogeneous parameter, be inhomogeneously approximated at every monotone divergent rate. This implies in particular that Kurzweil's Theorem cannot be…
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…
It is well known due to Jarnik that the set Bad of badly approximable numbers is of Hausdorff-dimension one. If Bad(c) denotes the subset of x in Bad for which the approximation constant c > c(x), then Jarnik was in fact more precise and…
We explore and refine techniques for estimating the Hausdorff dimension of exceptional sets and their diffeomorphic images. Specifically, we use a variant of Schmidt's game to deduce the strong C^1 incompressibility of the set of badly…
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…
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…
A pair $(A,\mathbf{b})$ of a real $m\times n$ matrix $A$ and $\mathbf{b}\in\mathbb{R}^m$ is said to be $\textit{infinitely badly approximable}$ if \[ \liminf_{\mathbf{q}\in\mathbb{Z}^n, \|\mathbf{q}\|\to\infty}…
The badly approximable points in $\mathbb{R}^d$ are those for which Dirichlet's approximation theorem cannot be improved by more than a constant, that is, they are the points most difficult to approximate by rational vectors. An important…
For any j_1,...,j_n>0 with j_1+...+j_n=1 and any x \in R^n, we consider the set of points y \in R^n for which max_{1\leq i\leq n}(||qx_i-y_i||^{1/j_i})>c/q for some positive constant c=c(y) and all q\in N. These sets are the `twisted'…
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 show an analogue of a theorem of An, Ghosh, Guan, and Ly on weighted badly approximable vectors for totally imaginary number fields. We show that for $G=\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{C})\times\dots\times\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{C})$ and $\Gamma<G$…
In 1998 Kleinbock conjectured that any set of weighted badly approximable $d\times n$ real matrices is a winning subset in the sense of Schmidt's game. In this paper we prove this conjecture in full for vectors in $\mathbf{R}^d$ in…
