We develop a parametric approach to study the Diophantine equation $\frac{k}{n} = \frac{1}{x} + \frac{1}{y} + \frac{1}{z}$, underlying the Erd\H{o}s--Straus ($k=4$), Sierpi\'nski ($k=5$), and related generalizations. We introduce and…

In 2022, Z.-W. Sun defined \begin{equation*} w_k^{(\alpha)}{(x)}=\sum_{j=1}^{k}w(k,j)^{\alpha}x^{j-1}, \end{equation*} where $k,\alpha$ are positive integers and $w(k,j)=\frac{1}{j}\binom{k-1}{j-1}\binom{k+j}{j-1}$. Let $(x)_{0}=1$ and…

For a fixed integer $n$, we study the question whether at least one of the numbers $\Re X\omega^k$, $1\leq k\leq n$, is $\varepsilon$-close to an integer, for any possible value of $X\in\mathbb{C}$, where $\omega$ is a primitive $n$th root…

Let $\{a_n\}_{n\in\mathbb{N}}$, $\{b_n\}_{n\in \mathbb{N}}$ be two infinite subsets of positive integers and $\psi:\mathbb{N}\to \mathbb{R}_{>0}$ be a positive function. We completely determine the Hausdorff dimensions of the set of all…

Let $d\geq 2$ and $k\geq 1$ be fixed. We prove that, for every $\epsilon>0$ and every real $\beta$, there exist integers $1\leq b_1,\ldots,b_k\leq N$ such that \[ \left\|\sum_{j=1}^k b_j^{1/d}-\beta\right\| \ll_{d,k,\epsilon}…

We are studying the Diophantine exponent \mu_{n,l}$ defined for integers 1 \leq l < n and a vector \alpha \in \mathbb{R}^n by letting \mu_{n,l} = \sup{\mu \geq 0: 0 < ||x \cdot \alpha|| < H(x)^{-\mu} for infinitely many x \in C_{n,l} \cap…

We investigate two inequalities of Bugeaud and Laurent, each involving triples of classical exponents of Diophantine approximation associated to $\ux\in\mathbb{R}^n$. We provide a complete description of parameter triples that admit…

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"…

We prove that every infinite sequence of skew-symmetric or symmetric matrices M_1, M_2, ... over a fixed finite field must have a pair M_i, M_j (i<j) such that M_i is isomorphic to a principal submatrix of the Schur complement of a…

We give several upper bounds for the uniform simultaneous Diophantine exponent $\widehat{\lambda}_n(\xi)$ of a transcendental number $\xi\in\mathbb{R}$. The most important one relates $\widehat{\lambda}_n(\xi)$ and the ordinary simultaneous…

We show that the symmetry algebra of the $SL(2,R)_{k}/U(1)$ coset model is a non-linear deformation of $W_{\infty}$, characterized by $k$. This is a universal $W$-algebra which linearizes in the large $k$ limit and truncates to $W_{N}$ for…

For any $\beta>1$, let $T_\beta$ be the classical $\beta$-transformations. Fix $x_0\in[0,1]$ and a nonnegative real number $\hat{v}$, we compute the Hausdorff dimension of the set of real numbers $x\in[0,1]$ with the property that, for…

In 1961, Rankin determined the asymptotic behavior of the number $S_{k,q}(x)$ of positive integers $n\le x$ for which a given prime $q$ does not divide $\sigma_k(n),$ the $k$-th divisor sum function. By computing the associated…

Let $n,s,k$ be three positive integers such that $1\leq s\leq(n-k+1)/k$ and let $[n]=\{1,\ldots,n\}$. Let $H$ be a $k$-graph with vertex set $\{1,\ldots,n\}$, and let $e(H)$ denote the number of edges of $H$. Let $\nu(H)$ and $\tau(H)$…

For integers $n\ge s\ge2$, let $e(n,s)$ be the maximum size of a family $\mathcal F\subseteq2^{[n]}$ with no $s$ pairwise disjoint members. The study of determining $e(n,s)$ is closely related to its uniform counterpart, the well-known…

For any $\varepsilon > 0$ we derive effective estimates for the size of a non-zero integral point $m \in \mathbb{Z}^d \setminus \{0\}$ solving the Diophantine inequality $\lvert Q[m] \rvert < \varepsilon$, where $Q[m] = q_1 m_1^2 + \ldots +…

For all integers $k,d$ such that $k \geq 3$ and $k/2\leq d \leq k-1$, let $n$ be a sufficiently large integer {\rm(}which may not be divisible by $k${\rm)} and let $s\le \lfloor n/k\rfloor-1$. We show that if $H$ is a $k$-uniform hypergraph…

We study the Folklore set of Dirichlet improvable matrices in $\mathbb R^{m\times n}$ which are neither singular nor badly approximable. We prove the non-emptiness for all positive integer pairs $m,n$ apart from $\{m,n\}=\{ 1,1\}$ and…

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…

Let Q be an infinite set of positive integers. Denote by W_{\tau, n}(Q) (resp. W_{\tau, n}) the set of points in dimension n simultaneously \tau--approximable by infinitely many rationals with denominators in Q (resp. in N*). A non--trivial…
