Abstract

Let γ(0;12),τ1\gamma\in(0;\frac{1}{2}),\tau\geq 1 and define the "γ,τ\gamma,\tau Diophantine set" as: Dγ,τ:={α(0;1):qαγqτqN},x:=infpZxp.D_{\gamma,\tau}:=\{\alpha\in (0;1): ||q\alpha||\geq\frac{\gamma}{q^{\tau}}\quad\forall q\in\Bbb{N}\},\qquad||x||:=\inf_{p\in\Bbb{Z}}|x-p|. In this paper we study the topology of these sets and we show that, for large τ\tau and for almost all γ>0\gamma>0, Dγ,τD_{\gamma,\tau} is a Cantor set.
