Abstract

We find upper and lower bounds on the number of rational points that are ψ\psi-approximations of some nn-dimensional pp-adic integer. Lattice point counting techniques are used to find the upper bound result, and a Pigeon-hole principle style argument is used to find the lower bound result. We use these results to find the Hausdorff dimension for the set of pp-adic weighted simultaneously approximable points intersected with pp-adic coordinate hyperplanes. For the lower bound result we show that the set of rational points that τ\tau-approximate a pp-adic integer form a set of resonant points that can be used to construct a local ubiquitous system of rectangles.
