For any prime $p$ and real number and $\alpha$, the $p$-adic Littlewood Conjecture due to de Mathan and Teuli\'e asserts that \[\inf_{|m|\ge1}|m|_p\cdot |m|\cdot |\left\langle\alpha m\right\rangle|=0.\] Above, $|m|$ is the usual absolute…
Given a prime $p$, the $p$-adic Littlewood Conjecture stands as a well-known arithmetic variant of the celebrated Littlewood Conjecture in Diophantine Approximation. In the same way as the latter, it admits a natural function field analogue…
In 2004, de Mathan and Teuli\'e stated the $p$-adic Littlewood Conjecture ($p$-$LC$) in analogy with the classical Littlewood Conjecture. Given a field $\mathbb{K}$ and an irreducible polynomial $p(t)$ with coefficients in $\mathbb{K}$,…
In this paper we introduce the concept of an infinite loop mod $n$ and discuss the properties that these objects have. In particular, we show that a real number $\alpha$ is a counterexample to the $p$-adic Littlewood Conjecture if and only…
Let $|| \cdot ||$ denote the distance to the nearest integer and, for a prime number $p$, let $| \cdot |_p$ denote the $p$-adic absolute value. In 2004, de Mathan and Teuli\'e asked whether $\inf_{q \ge 1} \, q \cdot || q \alpha || \cdot |…
The $p$-adic Littlewood conjecture (PLC) states that $\liminf_{q\to\infty} q\cdot |q|_p \cdot ||qx|| = 0$ for every prime $p$ and every real $x$. Let $w_{CF}(x)$ be an infinite word composed of the continued fraction expansion of $x$ and…
Let p be a prime number. The p-adic case of the Mixed Littlewood Conjecture states that liminf_{q \to \infty} q . |q|_p . ||q x|| = 0 for all real numbers x. We show that with the additional factor of log q.loglog q the statement is false.…
For every vector $\overline \alpha\in \RR^n$ and for every rational approximation $(\overline p,q)\in \RR^n\times\RR$ we can associate the displacement vector $q\alpha-\overline p$. We focus on algebraic vectors, namely $\overline…
The rank one Gross conjecture for Deligne-Ribet $p$-adic $L$-functions was solved in works of Darmon-Dasgupta-Pollack and Ventullo by the Eisenstein congruence among Hilbert modular forms. The purpose of this paper is to prove an analogue…
The Hardy--Littlewood inequality for $m$-linear forms on $\ell _{p}$ spaces and $m<p\leq 2m$ asserts that \begin{equation*} \left( \sum_{j_{1},...,j_{m}=1}^{\infty }\left\vert T\left( e_{j_{1}},\ldots ,e_{j_{m}}\right) \right\vert…
We verify that $\liminf_{q\to\infty} q\cdot |q|_p\cdot ||qx||<\epsilon$ for all real $x$, small primes $p$ and relatively small $\epsilon$. This result supports the famous $p$-adic Littlewood conjecture which states that the above lower…
A long-standing conjecture of Littlewood about simultaneous Diophantine approximation has an analogous problem for a field of formal Laurent series $\mathbb{F}(\!(t^{-1})\!)$. That is, we can ask whether for any series $\Theta$, $\Phi$ and…
In this paper we study the Mixed Littlewood Conjecture with pseudo-absolute values. We show that if p is a prime and D is a pseudo-absolute value sequence satisfying mild conditions then then the infimum over natural numbers n of the…
Let $p$ be a prime. For $d\in \mathbb{N}$, let $\mathbb{Q}_p^d$ be the standard $d$-dimensional p-adic Hilbert space. Let $m \in \mathbb{N}$ and $\text{Sym}^m(\mathbb{Q}_p^d)$ be the p-adic Hilbert space of symmetric m-tensors. We prove the…
For every irrational real $\alpha$, let $M(\alpha) = \sup_{n\geq 1} a_n(\alpha)$ denote the largest partial quotient in its continued fraction expansion (or $\infty$, if unbounded). The $2$-adic Littlewood conjecture (2LC) can be stated as…
Clemm and Trebat-Leder (2014) proved that the number of quadratic number fields with absolute discriminant bounded by $x$ over which there exist elliptic curves with good reduction everywhere and rational $j$-invariant is $\gg…
The conjecture of Leopoldt states that the $p$ - adic regulator of a number field does not vanish. It was proved for the abelian case in 1967 by Brumer, using Baker theory. We prove this conjecture for CM number fields $\K$. The proof uses…
Let $m$ and $n$ be positive integers with $m,n \geq 2$. The second Hardy-Littlewood conjecture states that the number of primes in the interval $(m,m+n]$ is always less than or equal to the number of primes in the interval $[2,n]$. Based on…
In this short note we confirm the relation between the generalized $abc$-conjecture and the $p$-rationality of number fields. Namely, we prove that given K$/\mathbb{Q}$ a real quadratic extension or an imaginary $S_3$-extension, if the…
We present a class of lattices in R^d (d >= 2) which we call GL-lattices and conjecture that any lattice is such. This conjecture is referred to as GLC. Littlewood's conjecture amounts to saying that Z^2 is GL. We then prove existence of GL…
