It is known that the properties of almost all points of R^n being not very well (multiplicatively) approximable are inherited by nondegenerate in R^n (read: not contained in a proper affine subspace) smooth submanifolds. In this paper we…
The Brauer-Manin obstruction is used to explain the failure of the local-global principle for algebraic varieties. In 1999 Skorobogatov gave the first example of a variety that does not satisfy the local-global principle which is not…
A long-standing problem with the many-body approximations for interacting condensed bosons has been the dichotomy between the ``conserving'' and ``gapless'' approximations, which either obey the conservations laws or satisfy the…
We survey classical and recent results on exponents of Diophantine approximation. We give only a few proofs and highlight several open problems.
For a curve over a global field we consider for which integers d the d-primary part of the Brauer group can obstruct the existence of rational points. We give examples showing it is possible that there is a d-primary obstruction for…
We study Diophantine approximation in completions of functions fields over finite fields, and in particular in fields of formal Laurent series over finite fields. We introduce a Lagrange spectrum for the approximation by orbits of quadratic…
Let $\mathcal{X}\rightarrow C$ be a dominant morphism between smooth irreducible varieties over a finitely generated field $k$ such that the generic fiber $X$ is smooth, projective and geometrically connected. Assuming that $C$ is a curve…
It is well-known that the Hasse principle holds for quadric hypersurfaces. The Hasse principle fails for integral points on smooth quadric hypersurfaces of dimension 2 but the failure can be completely explained by the Brauer-Manin…
We consider the question of how well points in a quadric hypersurface $M\subset\mathbb R^d$ can be approximated by rational points of $\mathbb Q^d\cap M$. This contrasts with the more common setup of approximating points in a manifold by…
This paper concerns extension of the classical Lagrange theorem, on the eventual periodicity of continued fraction expansions of quadratic surds, and the versions of it found in the literature in the case of complex numbers. In this…
We define quasi--locally presentable categories as big unions of coreflective subcategories which are locally presentable. Under appropriate hypotheses we prove a representability theorem for exact contravariant functors defined on a…
Let X be a homogeneous space of a quasi-trivial k-group G, with geometric stabilizer H, over a number field k. We prove that under certain conditions on the character group of H, certain algebraic Brauer-Manin obstructions to the Hasse…
In this paper we prove that all irrational numbers from totally real cubic number fields are well approximable by rationals (i.e. the partial quotients in the continued fraction expansion of such a number are unbounded). This settles the…
We develop the theory of Diophantine approximation for systems of simultaneously small linear forms, which coefficients are drawn from any given analytic non-degenerate manifolds. This setup originates from a problem of Sprind\v{z}uk from…
We study the optimal rectangular-discrepancy approximation of permutons by finite permutations. We transfer bounds from discrepancy theory to this more restricted setup. Moreover, we show that superlinear approximation can occur only for…
We prove a new quantitative result on the degeneracy of the dimension of the subspace spanned by the best Diophantine approximations for a linear form.
We study the Brauer groups of regular conic bundles over elliptic curves defined over a number field $k$. We explicitly compute the Brauer group of the conic bundle when the singular fibres lie above $k$-points that are divisible by $2$ in…
We constructed a multi-parametric deformation of the Brauer algebra representation related with the symplectic Lie algebras. The notion of Manin matrix of type C was generalised to the case of the multi-parametric deformation by using this…
In Diophantine approximation, inhomogeneous problems are linked with homogeneous ones by means of the so-called Transference Theorems. We revisit this classical topic by introducing new exponents of Diophantine approximation. We prove that…
We present a systematic method for computing explicit approximations to martingale representations for a large class of Brownian functionals. The approximations are obtained by obtained by computing a directional derivative of the weak…
