Let $(a_n)_{n \geq 1}$ be a sequence of distinct positive integers. In a recent paper Rudnick established asymptotic upper bounds for the minimal gaps of $\{a_n \alpha \bmod 1, 1 \leq n \leq N\}$ as $N \to \infty$, valid for Lebesgue-almost…

Let $(X, d)$ be a compact metric space, and let $Q \subset X$ be countable. Given functions $R: Q \to \mathbb{R}^+$ and $\phi: \mathbb{R}^+ \to \mathbb{R}^+$, we consider the set $E(Q, R, \phi)$ of points $x \in X$ that ``hit'' the…

Under the assumption that the approximating function $\psi$ is monotonic, the classical Khintchine-Groshev theorem provides an elegant probabilistic criterion for the Lebesgue measure of the set of $\psi$-approximable matrices in $\R^{mn}$.…

We present a novel proof of the Duffin-Schaeffer conjecture in metric Diophantine approximation. Our proof is heavily motivated by the ideas of Koukoulopoulos-Maynard's breakthrough first argument, but simplifies and strengthens several…

Duffin and Schaeffer have generalized the classical theorem of Khintchine in metric Diophantine approximation in the case of any error function under the assumption that all the rational approximants are irreducible. This result is extended…

A nonparametric variant of the Kiefer--Weiss problem is proposed and investigated. In analogy to the classical Kiefer--Weiss problem, the objective is to minimize the maximum expected sample size of a sequential test. However, instead of…

We study the Hausdorff dimension of self-similar sets and measures on the line. We show that if the dimension is smaller than the minimum of 1 and the similarity dimension, then at small scales there are super-exponentially close cylinders.…

Let f(1)=1, and let f(n+1)=2^{2^{f(n)}} for every positive integer n. We conjecture that if a system S \subseteq {x_i \cdot x_j=x_k: i,j,k \in {1,...,n}} \cup {x_i+1=x_k: i,k \in {1,...,n}} has only finitely many solutions in non-negative…

The Duffin-Schaeffer theorem is a well-known result from metric number theory, which generalises Khinchin's theorem from monotonic functions to a wider class of approximating functions. In recent years, there has been some interest in…

Let $\mathcal{D}=(d_n)_{n=1}^\infty$ be a bounded sequence of integers with $d_n\ge 2$ and let $(i, j)$ be a pair of strictly positive numbers with $i+j=1$. We prove that the set of $x \in \RR$ for which there exists some constant $c(x) >…

We show that for any $\epsilon<1$ and any $\mathcal{T}$ `drifting away from walls', Dirichlet's Theorem cannot be $\epsilon$-improved along $\mathcal{T}$ for Lebesgue almost every system of linear forms $Y$ (see the paper for definitions).…

We show that every diffeomorphism with mostly contracting center direction exhibits a geometric-combinatorial structure, which we call \emph{skeleton}, that determines the number, basins and supports of the physical measures. Furthermore,…

Let $\psi : \mathbb{R}_{>0}\rightarrow \mathbb{R}_{>0}$ be a non-increasing function. Denote by $W(\psi)$ the set of $\psi$-well-approximable points and by $E(\psi)$ the set of points $x\in[0,1]$ such that for any $0 < \epsilon < 1$ there…

In this note, we review the history of Khintchine's Theorem which is the foundation of metric Diophantine approximation, and discuss several generalizations and recent breakthroughs in this area. We focus particularly on the direction of…

The Duffin--Schaeffer Conjecture answers a question on how well one can approximate irrationals by rational numbers in reduced form (an imposed condition) where the accuracy of the approximation depends on the rational number. It can be…

Let $\{a_n\}_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$, $\{b_n\}_{n\in \mathbb{N}}$ be two infinite subsets of positive integers and $\psi:\mathbb{N}\to \mathbb{R}_{>0}$ be a positive function. We completely determine the Hausdorff dimensions of the set of all…

We prove versions of Khintchine's Theorem (1924) for approximations by rational numbers whose numerators lie in randomly chosen sets of integers, and we explore the extent to which the monotonicity assumption can be removed. Roughly…

We study a measure-theoretic notion of connectedness for sets of finite perimeter in the setting of doubling metric measure spaces supporting a weak $(1,1)$-Poincar\'{e} inequality. The two main results we obtain are a decomposition theorem…

We conjecture that if a system S \subseteq {x_i=1, x_i+x_j=x_k, x_i \cdot x_j=x_k: i,j,k \in {1,...,n}} has only finitely many solutions in integers x_1,...,x_n, then each such solution (x_1,...,x_n) satisfies |x_1|,...,|x_n| \leq…

In this paper we prove an upper bound on the "size" of the set of multiplicatively $\psi$-approximable points in $\mathbb R^d$ for $d>1$ in terms of $f$-dimensional Hausdorff measure. This upper bound exactly complements the known lower…
