We give an easy optimal bound for the dimension of the subspaces generated by the best Diophantine approximations.

This paper is devoted to the study of a problem of Cassels in multiplicative Diophantine approximation which involves minimising values of a product of affine linear forms computed at integral points. It was previously known that values of…

In this paper we establish properties of independence for the continued fraction expansions of two algebraic numbers. Roughly speaking, if the continued fraction expansions of two irrational algebraic numbers have the same long sub-word,…

Using elementary number theory we study Diophantine equations over the rational integers of the following form, $y^2=(x+a)(x+a+k)(x+b)(x+b+k)$, $y^2=c^2x^4+ax^2+b$ and $y^2=(x^2-1)(x^2-\alpha^2)(x^2-(\alpha+1)^2).$ We express their integer…

The seminal work of Kurzweil (1955) provides for any fixed badly approximable $\alpha$ and monotonically decreasing $\psi$ a Khintchine-type statement on the set of the inhomogeneous real parameters $\gamma$ for which $\lVert n \alpha +…

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…

We develop machinery to explicitly determine, in many instances, when the difference $x^2-y^n$ is divisible only by powers of a given fixed prime. This combines a wide variety of techniques from Diophantine approximation (bounds for linear…

For a tuple $(\theta_1,..,\theta_M)$ of complex number, buliding on the approximation techniques in earlier papers of this series, this paper engages in deducing lower estimates on the transcendence degree of the field generated by…

In this paper, we explore several threads arising from our recent joint work on arithmetic holonomy bounds, which were originally devised to prove new irrationality results based on the method of Ap\'ery limits. We propose a new method to…

Let $\varepsilon>0$ be a fixed small constant, ${\mathbb F}_p$ be the finite field of $p$ elements for prime $p$. We consider additive and multiplicative problems in ${\mathbb F}_p$ that involve intervals and arbitrary sets. Representative…

We provide a lower bound for the ratio between the ordinary and uniform exponent of both simultaneous Diophantine approximation and Diophantine approximation by linear forms in any dimension. This lower bound was conjectured by Schmidt and…

Given integers $a,b>1$ with $\log_b{a}$ irrational, we investigate the connection between the conjectured asymptotic equidistribution of digits in the base-$b$ expansion of $a^n$ and the (non-)Diophantine properties of the number…

We develop the metric theory of Diophantine approximation on homogeneous varieties of semisimple algebraic groups and prove results analogous to the classical Khinchin and Jarnik theorems. In full generality our results establish…

Let $\alpha$ be an algebraic number of degree $d\ge 3$ having at most one real conjugate and let $K$ be the algebraic number field ${\mathbf Q}(\alpha)$. For any unit $\epsilon$ of $K$ such that ${\mathbf Q}(\alpha\epsilon)=K$, we consider…

In this paper we study the three-dimensional analogue of the relation between the irrationality exponent of a real number and the growth of its regular continued fraction partial quotients. As a multidimensional generalisation of continued…

A {\it two-dimensional continued fraction expansion} is a map $\mu$ assigning to every $x \in\mathbb R^2\setminus\mathbb Q^2$ a sequence $\mu(x)=T_0,T_1,\dots$ of triangles $T_n$ with vertices $x_{ni}=(p_{ni}/d_{ni},q_{ni}/d_{ni})\in\mathbb…

We obtain an essentially optimal estimate for the moment of order 32/3 of the exponential sum having argument $\alpha x^3+\beta x^2$. Subject to modest local solubility hypotheses, we thereby establish that pairs of diagonal Diophantine…

A classical problem in analytic number theory is to study the distribution of $\alpha p$ modulo 1, where $\alpha$ is irrational and $p$ runs over the set of primes. We consider the subsequence generated by the primes $p$ such that $p+2$ is…

We prove that there are infinitely many solutions of $$ |\lambda_0+\lambda_1p+\lambda_2P_r|<p^{-\tau}, $$ where $r=3,$ $\tau=\frac1{118}$, and $\lambda_0$ is an arbitrary real number and $\lambda_1,\lambda_2\in\BR$ with $\lambda_2\neq0$ and…

We show that there exists some $\delta > 0$ such that, for any set of integers $B$ with $B\cap[1,Y]\gg Y^{1-\delta}$ for all $Y \gg 1$, there are infinitely many primes of the form $a^2+b^2$ with $b\in B$. We prove a quasi-explicit formula…
