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…

We prove a refinement of Ado's theorem for Lie algebras over an algebraically-closed field of characteristic zero. We first define what it means for a Lie algebra $L$ to be approximated with a nilpotent ideal, and we then use such an…

Anosov diffeomorphisms are an important class of dynamical systems with many peculiar properties. Ever since they were introduced in the sixties, it has been an open question which manifolds can admit such diffeomorphisms, where tori of…

Diophantine exponents are ones of the simplest quantitative characteristics responsible for the approximation properties of linear subspaces of a Euclidean space. This survey is aimed at describing the current state of the area of…

We investigate approximation to a given real number by algebraic numbers and algebraic integers of prescribed degree. We deal with both best and uniform approximation, and highlight the similarities and differences compared with the…

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…

These notes were prepared for the MSRI hot topics workshop on superstrong approximation (2012). We give a brief overview of the developments in the theory, especially the fundamental expansion theorem. Applications to diophantine problems…

Let $\Gamma$ be the multiplicative semigroup of all $n\times n$ matrices with integral entries and positive determinant. Let $1\leq p \leq n-1$ and $V=\R^n\oplus \cdots \oplus \R^n$ ($p$ copies). We consider the componentwise action of…

We establish upper bounds on the lengths of minimal conjugators in 2-step nilpotent groups. These bounds exploit the existence of small integral solutions to systems of linear Diophantine equations. We prove that in some cases these bounds…

This is the second paper in a series of two in which a global algebraic number theory of the reals is formulated with the purpose of providing a unified setting for algebraic and transcendental number theory. In this paper, to any real…

Schmidt generalized in 1967 the theory of classical Diophantine approximation to subspaces of $\R^n$. We consider Diophantine exponents for linear subspaces of $\R^n$ which generalize the irrationality measure for real numbers. Using…

We introduce diophantine approximation groups and their associated Kronecker foliations, using them to provide new algebraic and geometric characterizations of $K$-linear and algebraic dependence. As a consequence we find reformulations --…

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…

Let $\phi(z)$ be a non-isotrivial rational function in one-variable with coefficients in $\overline{\mathbb{F}}_p(t)$ and assume that $\gamma\in\mathbb{P}^1(\overline{\mathbb{F}}_p(t))$ is not a post-critical point for $\phi$. Then we prove…

We study the topology of orbits of dynamical systems defined by finite-dimensional representations of nilpotent Lie groups. Thus, the following dichotomy is established: either the interior of the set of regular points is dense in the…
