Khintchine's theorem is a classical result from metric number theory which relates the Lebesgue measure of certain limsup sets with the convergence/divergence of naturally occurring volume sums. In this paper we ask whether an analogous…

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}…

Zero-one laws are a central topic in metric Diophantine approximation. A classical example of such laws is the Borel-Bernstein theorem. In this note, we prove a complex analogue of the Borel-Bernstein theorem for complex Hurwitz continued…

We continue the work of Takao Komatsu by considering the inhomogeneous approximation constant L(\theta,\phi) for Hurwitzian numbers \theta, and rationally related \phi(r \theta +m)/n in Q(\theta) +Q. The current work uses a compactness…

The Khintchine-Groshev theorem in Diophantine approximation theory says that there is a dichotomy of the Lebesgue measure of sets of $\psi$-approximable numbers, given a monotonic function $\psi$. Allen and Ram\'irez removed the…

Sz{\"u}sz's inhomogeneous version (1958) of Khintchine's theorem (1924) gives conditions on $\psi:\mathbb{N}\to\mathbb{R}_{\geq 0}$ under which for almost every real number $\alpha$ there exist infinitely many rationals $p/q$ such that…

We prove an inhomogeneous analogue of W. M. Schmidt's (1969) theorem on Hausdorff dimension of the set of badly approximable systems of linear forms. The proof is based on ideas and methods from the theory of dynamical systems, in…

In a landmark paper, D.Y. Kleinbock and G.A. Margulis established the fundamental Baker-Sprindzuk conjecture on homogeneous Diophantine approximation on manifolds. Subsequently, there has been dramatic progress in this area of research.…

For all $k\geq 2$, we provide almost-sharp quantitative results for the $k$-dimensional Duffin-Schaeffer conjecture, analogous to recent developments in the 1-D case of Koukoulopoulos-Maynard-Yang. In particular, for…

In 1926 Khintchine introduced a topological argument proving the existence of uncountably many nontrivial singular linear forms of $n \geq 2$ variables. Throughout the years, this argument has been extensively modified and generalized. Most…

We prove a quantitative version of the Duffin-Schaeffer conjecture with an almost sharp error term. Precisely, let $\psi:\mathbb{N}\to[0,1/2]$ be a function such that the series $\sum_{q=1}^\infty \varphi(q)\psi(q)/q$ diverges. In addition,…

Given a sequence of real numbers $\{\psi(n)\}_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$ with $0\leq \psi(n)<1$, let $W(\psi)$ denote the set of $x\in[0,1]$ for which $|xn-m|<\psi(n)$ for infinitely many coprime pairs $(n,m)\in\mathbb{N}\times\mathbb{Z}$. The…
