This paper introduces some methods to determine the simultaneous approximation constants of a class of well approximable numbers $\zeta_{1},\zeta_{2},...,\zeta_{k}$. The approach relies on results on the connection between the set of all…
In 2004, J.C. Tong found bounds for the approximation quality of a regular continued fraction convergent of a rational number, expressed in bounds for both the previous and next approximation. We sharpen his results with a geometric method…
We prove that the Littlewood conjecture is satisfied for a restricted class of pairs $(\alpha,\beta)$ of badly approximable numbers. We use the localization of the roots of a cubic equation with coefficients depending on the diophantine…
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…
In these notes, we begin by recalling aspects of the classical theory of metric Diophantine approximation; such as theorems of Khintchine, Jarn\'{\i}k, Duffin-Schaeffer and Gallagher. We then describe recent strengthening of various…
The distribution of $\alpha p$ modulo one, where $p$ runs over the rational primes and $\alpha$ is a fixed irrational real, has received a lot of attention. It is natural to ask for which exponents $\nu>0$ one can establish the infinitude…
Gallagher's theorem is a sharpening and extension of the Littlewood conjecture that holds for almost all tuples of real numbers. We provide a fibre refinement, solving a problem posed by Beresnevich, Haynes and Velani in 2015. Hitherto,…
Given a monotonically decreasing $\psi: \mathbb{N} \to [0,\infty)$, Khintchine's Theorem provides an efficient tool to decide whether, for almost every $\alpha \in \mathbb{R}$, there are infinitely many $(p,q) \in \mathbb{Z}^2$ such that…
A basic question of Diophantine approximation, which is the first issue we discuss, is to investigate the rational approximations to a single real number. Next, we consider the algebraic or polynomial approximations to a single complex…
The Hausdorff dimension of the set of simultaneously tau well approximable points lying on a curve defined by a polynomial P(X)+alpha, where P(X) is a polynomial with integer coefficients and alpha is in R, is studied when tau is larger…
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…
The objective of this paper is to (partially) address the issue of finding an analogue to Khintchine's theorem for IFS Fractals. We study the convergence case for Diophantine approximations, and show an improved result for higher…
In this paper, we introduce an algebro-geometric formulation for Faltings' theorem on diophantine approximation on abelian varieties using an improvement of Faltings-Wustholz observation over number fields. In fact, we prove that, for any…
Let (X,d) be a metric space and (\Omega, d) a compact subspace of X which supports a non-atomic finite measure m. We consider `natural' classes of badly approximable subsets of \Omega. Loosely speaking, these consist of points in \Omega…
Following Schmidt, Thurnheer and Bugeaud-Kristensen, we study how Dirichlet's theorem on linear forms needs to be modified when one requires that the vectors of coefficients of the linear forms make a bounded acute angle with respect to a…
The present paper establishes upper and lower bounds on the speed of approximation in a wide range of natural Diophantine approximation problems. The upper and lower bounds coincide in many cases, giving rise to optimal results in…
We establish arithmetical properties and provide essential bounds for bi-sequences of approximation coefficients associated with the natural extension of maps, leading to continued fraction-like expansions. These maps are realized as the…
We consider the problem of Diophantine approximation on semisimple algebraic groups by rational points with restricted numerators and denominators and establish a quantitative approximation result for all real points in the group by…
In this article, for a certain subset $\mathcal{X}$ of the extended set of rational numbers, we introduce the notion of {\it best $\mathcal{X}$-approximations} of a real number. The notion of best $\mathcal{X}$-approximation is analogous to…
We study the general problem of extremality for metric Diophantine approximation on submanifolds of matrices. We formulate a criterion for extremality in terms of a certain family of algebraic obstructions and show that it is sharp. In…
