Abstract

In twisted Diophantine approximation, for a fixed m×nm\times n matrix α\boldsymbol\alpha one is interested in sets of vectors βRm\boldsymbol\beta\in\mathbb R^m such that the system of affine forms Rnqαq+βRm\mathbb R^n \ni \mathbf q \mapsto \boldsymbol\alpha\mathbf q + \boldsymbol\beta \in \mathbb R^m satisfies some given Diophantine condition. In this paper we introduce the notion of manifolds which are of α\boldsymbol\alpha-twisted Khintchine type for convergence or divergence. We provide sufficient conditions under which nondegenerate analytic manifolds exhibit this twisted Khintchine-type behaviour. Furthermore, we investigate the intersection properties of the sets of α\boldsymbol\alpha-twisted badly approximable and well approximable vectors with nondegenerate manifolds.
