Badly Approximable Systems of Affine Forms and Incompressibility on Fractals

We explore and refine techniques for estimating the Hausdorff dimension of exceptional sets and their diffeomorphic images. Specifically, we use a variant of Schmidt's game to deduce the strong C^1 incompressibility of the set of badly approximable systems of linear forms as well as of the set of vectors which are badly approximable with respect to a fixed system of linear forms.

A note on three problems in metric Diophantine approximation

The use of Hausdorff measures and dimension in the theory of Diophantine approximation dates back to the 1920s with the theorems of Jarnik and Besicovitch regarding well-approximable and badly-approximable points. In this paper we consider three inhomogeneous problems that further develop these classical results. Firstly, we obtain a Jarnik type theorem for the set of multiplicatively approximable points in the plane. This Hausdorff measure statement does not reduce to Gallagher's Lebesgue measure statement as one might expect and is new even in the homogeneous setting. Next, we establish a Ja…

A variational principle in the parametric geometry of numbers, with applications to metric Diophantine approximation

We establish a new connection between metric Diophantine approximation and the parametric geometry of numbers by proving a variational principle facilitating the computation of the Hausdorff and packing dimensions of many sets of interest in Diophantine approximation. In particular, we show that the Hausdorff and packing dimensions of the set of singular $m\times n$ matrices are both equal to $mn \big(1-\frac1{m+n}\big)$, thus proving a conjecture of Kadyrov, Kleinbock, Lindenstrauss, and Margulis (preprint 2014) as well as answering a question of Bugeaud, Cheung, and Chevallier (preprint 2016…

Badly approximable systems of affine forms

We prove an inhomogeneous analogue of W. M. Schmidt's (1969) theorem on Hausdorff dimension of the set of badly approximable systems of linear forms. The proof is based on ideas and methods from the theory of dynamical systems, in particular, on abundance of bounded orbits of mixing flows on homogeneous spaces of Lie groups.

Arithmetic representations of real numbers in terms of self-similar sets

Suppose $n\geq 2$ and $\mathcal{A}_{i}\subset \{0,1,\cdots ,(n-1)\}$ for $ i=1,\cdots ,l,$ let $K_{i}=\bigcup\nolimits_{a\in \mathcal{A}_{i}}n^{-1}(K_{i}+a)$ be self-similar sets contained in $[0,1].$ Given $ m_{1},\cdots ,m_{l}\in \mathbb{Z}$ with $\prod\nolimits_{i}m_{i}\neq 0,$ we let \begin{equation*} S_{x}=\left\{ \mathbf{(}y_{1},\cdots ,y_{l}\mathbf{)}:m_{1}y_{1}+\cdots +m_{l}y_{l}=x\text{ with }y_{i}\in K_{i}\text{ }\forall i\right\} . \end{equation*} In this paper, we analyze the Hausdorff dimension and Hausdorff measure of the following set \begin{equation*} U_{r}=\{x:\mathbf{Card}(S_…

The Mass Transference Principle: Ten Years On

In this article we discuss the Mass Transference Principle due to Beresnevich and Velani and survey several generalisations and variants, both deterministic and random. Using a Hausdorff measure analogue of the inhomogeneous Khintchine-Groshev Theorem, proved recently via an extension of the Mass Transference Principle to systems of linear forms, we give an alternative proof of a general inhomogeneous Jarn\'ık-Besicovitch Theorem which was originally proved by Levesley. We additionally show that without monotonicity Levesley's theorem no longer holds in general. Thereafter, we discuss recent a…
