Parametric geometry of numbers is a new theory, recently created by Schmidt and Summerer, which unifies and simplifies many aspects of classical Diophantine approximations, providing a handle on problems which previously seemed out of…
In this paper we adapt parametric geometry of numbers developed by Wolfgang Schmidt and Leonard Summerer to a multiplicative setting, and derive a chain of inequalities for the corresponding exponents which splits the transference…
Within the study of parametric geometry of numbers W. Schmidt and L. Summerer introduced so-called regular graphs. Roughly speaking the successive minima functions for the classical simultaneous Diophantine approximation problem have a very…

A well-known conjecture states that the Whitney numbers of the second kind of a geometric lattice (simple matroid) are logarithmically concave. We show this conjecture to be equivalent to proving an upper bound on the number of new copoints…
The main purpose of this note is to prove an upper bound on the number of lattice points of a centrally symmetric convex body in terms of the successive minima of the body. This bound improves on former bounds and narrows the gap towards a…
For a real $N\ge 1$ and a vector $\xi =(1,\xi_1,...,\xi_n)$ define a matrix $$ {\cal A} (\xi, N) = ({array}{ccccc} N^{-1} & 0& 0& ... &0 \cr N^{\frac{1}{n}} \xi_1 & -N^{\frac{1}{n}} & 0&... & 0 \cr N^{\frac{1}{n}} \xi_2 &0& -N^{\frac{1}{n}}…
The parametric geometry of numbers of Schmidt and Summerer deals with rational approximation to points in $\mathbb{R}^n$. We extend this theory to a number field $K$ and its completion $K_w$ at a place $w$ in order to treat approximation…
In this paper we consider a multiparametric version of Wolfgang Schmidt and Leonard Summerer's parametric geometry of numbers. We apply this approach in two settings: the first one concerns weighted Diophantine approximation, the second one…
Via multilinear algebra, we formulate a criterion for connectedness in the parametric geometry of numbers in terms of pencils, which are certain algebraic varieties in the space of matrices. As a consequence, we obtain a connectedness…
In this paper we discuss about properties of lattices and its application in theoretical and algorithmic number theory. This result of Minkowski regarding the lattices initiated the subject of Geometry of Numbers, which uses geometry to…
In this short survey we want to present some of the impact of Minkowski's successive minima within Convex and Discrete Geometry. Originally related to the volume of an $o$-symmetric convex body, we point out relations of the successive…

We study extensions and generalizations of the Schmidt Subspace Theorem in various settings. In particular, we prove results for algebraic points of bounded degree, giving a sharp version of Schmidt's theorem for quadratic points in the…
We prove many new cases of Zimmer's conjecture for actions by lattices in non-$\mathbb{R}$-split semisimple Lie groups $G$. By prior arguments, Zimmer's conjecture reduces to studying certain probability measures invariant under a minimal…
We prove Zimmer's conjecture for co-compact lattices in ${\rm SL}(n, \mathbb C)$: for any co-compact lattice in ${\rm SL}(n, \mathbb C)$, $n \geq 3$, any $\Gamma$-action on a compact manifold $M$ with dimension: (I) less than $2n-2$ if $n…
We prove Zimmer's conjecture for $C^2$ actions by finite-index subgroups of $\mathrm{SL}(m,\mathbb{Z})$ provided $m>3$. The method utilizes many ingredients from our earlier proof of the conjecture for actions by cocompact lattices in…
Using the new theory of W. M. Schmidt and L. Summerer called parametric geometry of numbers, we show that the going-up and going-down transference inequalities of W. M. Schmidt and M. Laurent describe the full spectrum of the $n$ exponents…
