It's widely perceived that Reconfigurable Intelligent Surfaces (RIS) cannot increase Degrees of Freedom (DoF) due to their relay nature. A notable exception is Jiang \& Yu's work. They demonstrate via simulation that in an ideal $K$-user…
The main goal of this note is to develop a metrical theory of Diophantine approximation within the framework of the de Mathan-Teulie Conjecture, also known as the `Mixed Littlewood Conjecture'. Let p be a prime. A consequence of our main…
We establish a weighted simultaneous Khintchine-type theorem, both convergence and divergence, for all nondegenerate manifolds, which answers a problem posed in [Math. Ann., 337(4):769-796, 2007]. This extends the main results of [Acta…
We consider a constant $K$-user Gaussian interference channel with $M$ antennas at each transmitter and $N$ antennas at each receiver, denoted as a $(K,M,N)$ channel. Relying on a result on simultaneous Diophantine approximation, a real…
We study some problems in metric Diophantine approximation over local fields of positive characteristic.
Quantization of diffeomorphism invariant theories of connections is studied. A solutions of the diffeomorphism constraints is found. The space of solutions is equipped with an inner product that is shown to satisfy the physical reality…
Minkowski's First Theorem and Dirichlet's Approximation Theorem provide upper bounds on certain minima taken over lattice points contained in domains of Euclidean spaces. We study the distribution of such minima and show, under some…
This is the second paper in a series of two in which a global algebraic number theory of the reals is formulated with the purpose of providing a unified setting for algebraic and transcendental number theory. In this paper, to any real…
For a tuple $(\theta_1,..,\theta_M)$ of complex number, buliding on the approximation techniques in earlier papers of this series, this paper engages in deducing lower estimates on the transcendence degree of the field generated by…
Consider the classical problem of rational simultaneous approximation to a point in $\mathbb{R}^{n}$. The optimal lower bound on the gap between the induced ordinary and uniform approximation exponents has been established by Marnat and…
We discuss the problem of finding optimal exponents in Diophantine estimates involving one real number and, in some cases where such an exponent is known, present some properties of the corresponding extremal numbers.
The convergence theory for the set of simultaneously $\psi$-approximable points lying on a planar curve is established. Our results complement the divergence theory developed in `Diophantine approximation on planar curves and the…
Let $\psi: \mathbb{N} \to [0,1/2]$ be given. The Duffin-Schaeffer conjecture, recently resolved by Koukoulopoulos and Maynard, asserts that for almost all reals $\alpha$ there are infinitely many coprime solutions $(p,q)$ to the inequality…
Although interference alignment (IA) can theoretically achieve the optimal degrees of freedom (DoFs) in the $K$-user Gaussian interference channel, its direct application comes at the prohibitive cost of precoding over exponentially-many…
The badly approximable points in $\mathbb{R}^d$ are those for which Dirichlet's approximation theorem cannot be improved by more than a constant, that is, they are the points most difficult to approximate by rational vectors. An important…
We show that a multiplicative form of Dirichlet's theorem on simultaneous Diophantine approximation as formulated by Minkowski, cannot be improved for almost all points on any analytic curve on R^k which is not contained in a proper affine…
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…
We quantify the density of rational points in the unit sphere $S^n$, proving analogues of the classical theorems on the embedding of $\q^n$ into $\r^n$. Specifically, we prove a Dirichlet theorem stating that every point $\alpha \in S^n$ is…
Interference alignment allows multiple users to share the same frequency and time resource in a wireless communications system. At present, two performance bounds, in terms of degree of freedom, have been proposed. One is for…
