Abstract

We prove that for all bb, the Hausdorff dimension of the set of m×nm \times n matrices ϵ\epsilon-badly approximable for the target bb is not full. The doubly metric case follows. It was known that for almost every matrix AA, the Hausdorff dimension of the set BadA(ϵ)Bad_A(\epsilon) of ϵ\epsilon-badly approximable target bb is not full, and that for real numbers α\alpha, dimHBadα(ϵ)=1\dim_H Bad_\alpha(\epsilon)=1 if and only if α\alpha is singular on average. We show that if dimHBadA(ϵ)=m\dim_H Bad_A(\epsilon)=m, then AA is singular on average.
