For $m\ge 2$, consider $K$ the $m$-fold Cartesian product of the limit set of an IFS of two affine maps with rational coefficients. If the contraction rates of the IFS are reciprocals of integers, and $K$ does not degenerate to singleton,…

We exploit dynamical properties of diagonal actions to derive results in Diophantine approximations. In particular, we prove that the continued fraction expansion of almost any point on the middle third Cantor set (with respect to the…

Following the development of weighted asymptotic approximation properties of matrices, we introduce the analogous uniform approximation properties (that is, study the improvability of Dirichlet's Theorem). An added feature is the use of…

It is well known that in dimension one the set of Dirichlet improvable real numbers consists precisely of badly approximable and singular numbers. We show that in higher dimensions this is not the case by proving that there exist continuum…

For $m\geq 2$, we determine the Dirichlet spectrum in $\Rm$ with respect to simultaneous approximation and the maximum norm as the entire interval $[0,1]$. This complements previous work of several authors, especially Akhunzhanov and…

In one-dimensional Diophantine approximation, the Diophantine properties of a real number are characterized by its partial quotients, especially the growth of its large partial quotients. Notably, Kleinbock and Wadleigh [Proc. Amer. Math.…

We consider improvements of Dirichlet's Theorem on space of matrices $M_{m,n}(R)$. It is shown that for a certain class of fractals $K\subset [0,1]^{mn}\subset M_{m,n}(R)$ of local maximal dimension Dirichlet's Theorem cannot be improved…

Let $E\subset [0,1]$ be a set that supports a probability measure $\mu$ with the property that $|\widehat{\mu}(t)|\ll (\log |t|)^{-A}$ for some constant $A>2.$ Let $\mathcal{A}=(q_n)_{n\in \N}$ be a positive, real-valued, lacunary sequence.…

Akhunzhanov and Shatskov defined the Dirichlet spectrum, corresponding to $m \times n$ matrices and to norms on $\mathbb{R}^m$ and $\mathbb{R}^n$. In case $(m,n) = (2,1)$ and using the Euclidean norm on $\mathbb{R}^2$, they showed that the…

In a recent paper of Akhunzhanov and Shatskov the two-dimensional Dirichlet spectrum with respect to Euclidean norm was defined. We consider an analogous definition for arbitrary norms on $\mathbb{R}^2$ and prove that, for each such norm,…

We investigate the question of how well points on a nondegenerate $k$-dimensional submanifold $M \subseteq \mathbb R^d$ can be approximated by rationals also lying on $M$, establishing an upper bound on the "intrinsic Dirichlet exponent"…

Fix an integer $n\ge 2$. To each non-zero point $\mathbf{u}$ in $\mathbb{R}^n$, one attaches several numbers called exponents of Diophantine approximation. However, as Khintchine first observed, these numbers are not independent of each…

The inhomogeneous Khintchine-Groshev Theorem is a classical generalization of Khintchine's Theorem in Diophantine approximation, by approximating points in $\mathbb{R}^m$ by systems of linear forms in $n$ variables. Analogous to the…

Let $E\subset [0,1)^{d}$ be a set supporting a probability measure $\mu$ with Fourier decay $|\widehat{\mu}({\bf{t}})|\ll (\log |{\bf{t}}|)^{-s}$ for some constant $s>d+1.$ Consider a sequence of expanding integral matrices…

In twisted Diophantine approximation, for a fixed $m\times n$ matrix $\boldsymbol\alpha$ one is interested in sets of vectors $\boldsymbol\beta\in\mathbb R^m$ such that the system of affine forms $\mathbb R^n \ni \mathbf q \mapsto…

Intrinsic Diophantine approximation on fractals, such as the Cantor ternary set, was undoubtedly motivated by questions asked by K. Mahler (1984). One of the main goals of this paper is to develop and utilize the theory of infinite de…

We prove a Khintchine result for convergence of a multiplicative Diophantine set with restricted denominators on an arbitrary non-degenerate line. Specifically, given sequences of real numbers $\{a_n\}_{n\in\mathbb{N}},\,…

On the space $\mathcal{L}_{n+1}$ of unimodular lattices in $\mathbb{R}^{n+1}$, we consider the standard action of $a(t)=\mathrm{diag}(t^n,t^{-1},\ldots,t^{-1})\in \mathrm{SL}(n+1,\mathbb{R})$ for $t>1$. Let $M$ be a nondegenerate…

In this paper, we prove a new ergodic theorem for $\mathbb{R}^d$-actions involving averages over dilated submanifolds, thereby generalizing the theory of spherical averages. Our main result is a quantitative estimate for the error term of…

We give an integrability criterion on a real-valued non-increasing function $\psi$ guaranteeing that for almost all (or almost no) pairs $(A, \textbf{b})$, where $A$ is a real $m\times n$ matrix and $\textbf{b} \in \mathbb{R}^m$, the system…
