Abstract

Given d2d\geq 2, we show that the number of approximates 1qpQd\frac{1}{q}\mathbf{p}\in \mathbb{Q}^d of xRd\mathbf{x}\in\mathbb{R}^d satisfying qxpcq1d|q\mathbf{x}-\mathbf{p}|\leq cq^{-\frac{1}{d}} with denominator 1q<T1\leq q < T decays to the asymptotic term cvold(Bd(0,1))logTc\text{vol}_d(B_d(0,1))\log T with error of order (logT)12(loglogT)32(logloglogT)12+ϵ\left(\log T\right)^{-\frac{1}{2}}\left(\log \log T\right)^\frac{3}{2}\left(\log\log\log T\right)^{\frac{1}{2}+\epsilon} for almost all xRd\mathbf{x}\in\mathbb{R}^d and for any ϵ>0\epsilon >0. Results with the same order are proven for primitive lattice approximates for all d1d\geq 1 and also for the case of linear forms and affine lattices. These results, especially in the primitive case for d=1d=1, are an improvement to the results of Schmidt.
