Wirsing's theorem on approximating algebraic numbers by algebraic numbers of bounded degree is a generalization of Roth's theorem in Diophantine approximation. We study variations of Wirsing's theorem where the inequality in the theorem is…

In this paper, we extend the theory of simultaneous Diophantine approximation to infinite dimensions. Moreover, we discuss Dirichlet-type theorems in a very general framework and define what it means for such a theorem to be optimal. We…

In this paper we develop the convergence theory of simultaneous, inhomogeneous Diophantine approximation on manifolds. A consequence of our main result is that if the manifold $M \subset \mathbb{R}^n$ is of dimension strictly greater than…

In the present paper and as an application of Roth's theorem concerning the rational approximation of algebraic numbers, we give a sufficient condition that will assure us that a sum, product and quotient of some series of positive rational…

Building on work of Davenport and Schmidt, we mainly prove two results. The first one is a version of Gel'fond's transcendence criterion which provides a sufficient condition for a complex or $p$-adic number $\xi$ to be algebraic in terms…

We establish a new upper bound for the number of rationals up to a given height in a missing-digit set, making progress towards a conjecture of Broderick, Fishman, and Reich. This enables us to make novel progress towards another conjecture…

For a given irrational number, we consider the properties of best rational approximations of given parities. There are three different kinds of rational numbers according to the parity of the numerator and denominator, say odd/odd, even/odd…

We compute the Hausdorff dimension of sets of very well approximable vectors on rational quadrics. We use ubiquitous systems and the geometry of locally symmetric spaces. As a byproduct we obtain the Hausdorff dimension of the set of rays…

It was discovered that there is a formal analogy between Nevanlinna theory and Diophantine approximation. Via Vojta's dictionary, the Second Main Theorem in Nevanlinna theory corresponds to Schmidt's Subspace Theorem in Diophantine…

Fix $d\in\mathbb N$, and let $S\subseteq\mathbb R^d$ be either a real-analytic manifold or the limit set of an iterated function system (for example, $S$ could be the Cantor set or the von Koch snowflake). An $extrinsic$ Diophantine…

We use the theory of arithmetic quotients of the Bruhat-Tits tree developed by Serre and others to obtain Dirichlet-style theorems for Diophantine approximation on global function fields. This approach allows us to find sharp values for the…

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…

In 1984, Kurt Mahler posed the following fundamental question: How well can irrationals in the Cantor set be approximated by rationals in the Cantor set? Towards development of such a theory, we prove a Dirichlet-type theorem for this…

For any given positive definite binary quadratic form $Q$ with integer coefficients, we establish two results on Diophantine approximation with integers represented by $Q$. Firstly, we show that for every irrational number $\alpha$, there…

Fix an irrational number $\theta$. For a real number $\tau >0$, consider the numbers $y$ satisfying that for all large number $Q$, there exists an integer $1\leq n\leq Q$, such that $\|n\theta-y\|<Q^{-\tau}$, where $\|\cdot\|$ is the…
