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…
In two dimensions, Gallagher's theorem is a strengthening of the Littlewood conjecture that holds for almost all pairs of real numbers. We prove an inhomogeneous fibre version of Gallagher's theorem, sharpening and making unconditional a…
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…
We prove analogues of some classical results from Diophantine approximation and metric number theory (namely Dirichlet's theorem and the Duffin--Schaeffer theorem) in the setting of diagonal Diophantine approximation, i.e. approximating…
Metric Diophantine approximation in its classical form is the study of how well almost all real numbers can be approximated by rationals. There is a long history of results which give partial answers to this problem, but there are still…
We note that an argument by Rogers (1958) gives a proof of Vaaler's theorem (1979) about sections of the cube and allows certain generalizations of the theorem.
We extend the Duffin--Schaeffer conjecture to the setting of systems of $m$ linear forms in $n$ variables. That is, we establish a criterion to determine whether, for a given rate of approximation, almost all or almost no $n$-by-$m$ systems…
Gallagher's theorem describes the multiplicative diophantine approximation rate of a typical vector. We establish a fully-inhomogeneous version of Gallagher's theorem, a diophantine fibre refinement, and a sharp and unexpected threshold for…
There are abundant results on Diophantine approximation over fields of positive characteristic (see the survey papers [13, 25]), but there is very little information about simultaneous approximation. In this paper, we develop a technique of…
Given quantities $\Delta_1,\Delta_2,\dots\geqslant 0$, a fundamental problem in Diophantine approximation is to understand which irrational numbers $x$ have infinitely many reduced rational approximations $a/q$ such that $|x-a/q|<\Delta_q$.…
We prove a strong analogue of Liouville's Theorem in Diophantine approximation for points on arbitrary algebraic varieties. We use this theorem to prove a conjecture of the first author for cubic surfaces in $\P^3$.
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…
Gallagher's ergodic theorem is a result in metric number theory. It states that the approximation of real numbers by rational numbers obeys a striking 'all or nothing' behaviour. We discuss a formalisation of this result in the Lean theorem…
We study metric Diophantine approximation in local fields of positive characteristic. Specifically, we study the problem of improving Dirichlet's theorem in Diophantine approximation and prove very general results in this context.
We prove a number of results on the metric and non-metric theory of Diophantine approximation for Yu's multidimensional variant of Mahler's classification of transcendental numbers. Our results arise as applications of well known results in…
In the thirties of the last century, I. M. Vinogradov proved that the inequality $||p\alpha||\le p^{-1/5+\varepsilon}$ has infinitely prime solutions $p$, where $||.||$ denotes the distance to a nearest integer. This result has subsequently…
In 1996 N. Chevallier proved a beautiful lemma which connects Diophantine approximation and multidimensional generalizations of the famous Three Distance Theorem. Using this lemma we show how known results about multidimensional three…
We prove Haynes' version of the Duffin--Schaeffer conjecture for the $p$-adic numbers. In addition, we prove several results about an associated related but false conjecture, related to $p$-adic approximation in the spirit of Jarn\'ik and…
Duffin and Schaeffer provided a famous counterexample to show that Khintchine's theorem fails without monotonicity assumption. Given any monotonically decreasing approximation function with divergent series, we construct…
We establish a Bombieri-Vinogradov theorem for sectors in real quadratic number fields.
