There are two fundamental results in the classical theory of metric Diophantine approximation: Khintchine's theorem and Jarnik's theorem. The former relates the size of the set of well approximable numbers, expressed in terms of Lebesgue…

By introducing a ubiquity property for rectangles, we prove the mass transference principle from rectangles to rectangles, i.e., if a sequence of rectangles forms a ubiquity system (a full measure property), then the limsup set defined by…

Let (X,d) be a metric space and (\Omega, d) a compact subspace of X which supports a non-atomic finite measure m. We consider `natural' classes of badly approximable subsets of \Omega. Loosely speaking, these consist of points in \Omega…

Let $W(\p)$ denote the set of $\p$-well approximable points in $\R^d$ and let $K$ be a compact subset of $\R^d$ which supports a measure $\mu$. In this short note, we show that if $\mu$ is an `absolutely friendly' measure and a certain…

Let $\{x\_n\}\_{n\geq 0}$ be a sequence of $[0,1]^d$, $\{\lambda\_n\} \_{n\geq 0}$ a sequence of positive real numbers converging to 0, and $\delta>1$. Let $\mu$ be a positive Borel measure on $[0,1]^d$, $\rho\in (0,1]$ and $\alpha>0$.…

Khintchine's theorem is a classical result from metric number theory which relates the Lebesgue measure of certain limsup sets with the convergence/divergence of naturally occurring volume sums. In this paper we ask whether an analogous…

Metric Diophantine approximation in its classical form is the study of how well almost all real numbers can be approximated by rationals. There is a long history of results which give partial answers to this problem, but there are still…

A Hausdorff measure version of the Duffin-Schaeffer conjecture in metric number theory is introduced and discussed. The general conjecture is established modulo the original conjecture. The key result is a Mass Transference Principle which…

The Jarn\'ik-Besicovitch theorem is a fundamental result in metric number theory which concerns the Hausdorff dimension for certain limsup sets. We discuss the analogous problem for liminf sets. Consider an infinite sequence of positive…

We establish a new connection between metric Diophantine approximation and the parametric geometry of numbers by proving a variational principle facilitating the computation of the Hausdorff and packing dimensions of many sets of interest…

A general form of the Borel-Cantelli Lemma and its connection with the proof of Khintchine's Theorem on Diophantine approximation and the more general Khintchine-Groshev theorem are discussed. The torus geometry in the planar case allows a…

Let $(X, d)$ be a compact metric space, and let $Q \subset X$ be countable. Given functions $R: Q \to \mathbb{R}^+$ and $\phi: \mathbb{R}^+ \to \mathbb{R}^+$, we consider the set $E(Q, R, \phi)$ of points $x \in X$ that ``hit'' the…

We present a comprehensive framework for the study of the size and large intersection properties of sets of limsup type that arise naturally in Diophantine approximation and multifractal analysis. This setting encompasses the classical…

In this paper we prove a general form of the Mass Transference Principle for $\limsup$ sets defined via neighbourhoods of sets satisfying a certain local scaling property. Such sets include self-similar sets satisfying the open set…

We prove bounds for the almost sure value of the Hausdorff dimension of the limsup set of a sequence of balls in $\mathbf{R}^d$ whose centres are independent, identically distributed random variables. The formulas obtained involve the rate…

In metric Diophantine approximation, one frequently encounters the problem of showing that a limsup set has positive or full measure. Often it is a set of points in $m$-dimensional Euclidean space, or a set of $n$-by-$m$ systems of linear…

The classical Khintchine--Jarn\'ik Theorem provides elegant criteria for determining the Lebesgue measure and Hausdorff measure of sets of points approximated by rational points, which has inspired much modern research in metric Diophantine…

This paper discovers a new phenomenon about the Duffin-Schaeffer conjecture, which claims that $\lambda(\cap_{m=1}^{\infty}\cup_{n=m}^{\infty}{\mathcal E}_n)=1$ if and only if $\sum_n\lambda({\mathcal E}_n)=\infty$, where $\lambda$ denotes…

In this paper we establish a general form of the Mass Transference Principle for systems of linear forms conjectured in [1]. We also present a number of applications of this result to problems in Diophantine approximation. These include a…
