In this article, we consider a counting problem for orbits of hyperbolic rational maps on the Riemann sphere, where constraints are placed on the multipliers of orbits. Using arguments from work of Dolgopyat, we consider varying and…
We investigate the number of integer solutions to a multiplicative Diophantine approximation problem and show that the associated counting function converges in distribution to a normal law. Our approach relies on the analysis of…
If phi(z) is a rational function on P^1 of degree at least 2 with coefficients in a number field k, we compute the homogeneous transfinite diameter of the v-adic filled Julia sets of phi for all places v of k by introducing a new quantity…
In this paper, we consider the problem of counting Diophantine inequalities with multiple natural constraints. We prove a very general result in this setting using dynamical techniques. More precisely, we consider the joint asymptotic…
Let $\cal C$ be a non--degenerate planar curve and for a real, positive decreasing function $\psi$ let $\cal C(\psi)$ denote the set of simultaneously $\psi$--approximable points lying on $\cal C$. We show that $\cal C$ is of Khintchine…
Refining an argument of the second author, we improve the known bounds for the number of rational points near a submanifold of $\mathbb{R}^d$ of intermediate dimension under a natural curvature condition. Furthermore, in the codimension $2$…
We study properties of Diophantine exponents of lattices and so-called related "weak" uniform approximations introduced in recent papers by Oleg German, in the simplest two-dimensional case. In contrast to the multidimensional case, in the…
We give a precise estimate for the number of lattice points in certain bounded subsets of $\mathbb{R}^{n}$ that involve `hyperbolic spikes' and occur naturally in multiplicative Diophantine approximation. We use Wilkie's o-minimal structure…
We prove an effective version of a result due to Einsiedler, Mozes, Shah and Shapira who established the equidistribution of primitive rational points on expanding horospheres in the space of unimodular lattices in at least $3$ dimensions.…
Recent years have seen very important developments at the interface of Diophantine approximation and homogeneous dynamics. In the first part of the paper we give a brief exposition of a dictionary developed by Dani and Kleinbock-Margulis…
We study the limiting distribution of the rational points under a horizontal translation along a sequence of expanding closed horocycles on the modular surface. Using spectral methods we confirm equidistribution of these sample points for…
Uncertainty in physical parameters can make the solution of forward or inverse light scattering problems in astrophysical, biological, and atmospheric sensing applications, cost prohibitive for real-time applications. For example, given a…
Some mathematical models of applied problems lead to the need of solving boundary value problems with a fractional power of an elliptic operator. In a number of works, approximations of such a nonlocal operator are constructed on the basis…
The spherical cap discrepancy is a widely used measure for how uniformly a sample of points on the sphere is distributed. Being hard to compute, this discrepancy measure is typically replaced by some lower or upper estimates when designing…
A rational spherical triangle is a triangle on the unit sphere such that the lengths of its three sides and its area are rational multiples of $\pi$. Little and Coxeter have given examples of rational spherical triangles in 1980s. In this…
The repartition of dense orbits of $\textrm{SL}(2,\dr Z)$ in the euclidean plane is described by Ledrappier and Nogueira. We describe here the specific patterns one can see by experimentation, linking it to diophantine approximation theory.
In this paper we investigate the Erd\"os/Falconer distance conjecture for a natural class of sets statistically, though not necessarily arithmetically, similar to a lattice. We prove a good upper bound for spherical means that have been…
We sketch the proof of an effective equidistribution theorem for one-parameter unipotent subgroups in $S$-arithmetic quotients arising from $\mathbf K$-forms of $\mathrm{SL}_2^{\mathsf n}$ where $\mathbf K$ is a number field. This gives an…
In a previous paper, we studied certain sequences of simultaneous rational approximations in ${\bf R}^2$ which present some analogy with the continued fractions. We got results around the Littlewood conjecture by using such approximations.…
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…
