Hausdorff dimension and Diophantine approximation
نویسنده
چکیده
In the present survey paper, we explain how the theory of Hausdorff dimension and Hausdorff measure is used to answer certain questions in Diophantine approximation. The final section is devoted to a discussion around the Diophantine properties of the points lying in the middle third Cantor set.

A Localized Jarnik-besicovitch Theorem
Fundamental questions in Diophantine approximation are related to the Hausdorff dimension of sets of the form {x ∈ R : δx = δ}, where δ ≥ 1 and δx is the Diophantine approximation exponent of an irrational number x. We go beyond the classical results by computing the Hausdorff dimension of the sets {x ∈ R : δx = f(x)}, where f is a continuous function. Our theorem applies to the study of the ap...
متن کاملInhomogeneous Diophantine approximation on curves and Hausdorff dimension
The goal of this paper is to develop a coherent theory for inhomogeneous Diophantine approximation on curves in R akin to the well established homogeneous theory. More specifically, the measure theoretic results obtained generalize the fundamental homogeneous theorems of R.C. Baker (1978), Dodson, Dickinson (2000) and Beresnevich, Bernik, Kleinbock, Margulis (2002). In the case of planar curves...
متن کاملInhomogeneous Diophantine approximation with general error functions
Let α be an irrational and φ : N → R be a function decreasing to zero. For any α with a given Diophantine type, we show some sharp estimations for the Hausdorff dimension of the set Eφ(α) := {y ∈ R : ‖nα− y‖ < φ(n) for infinitely many n}, where ‖ · ‖ denotes the distance to the nearest integer.
متن کاملInhomogeneous Diophantine Approximation and Angular Recurrence for Polygonal Billiards
For a given rotation number we compute the Hausdorff dimension of the set of well approximable numbers. We use this result and an inhomogeneous version of Jarnik’s theorem to show strong recurrence properties of the billiard flow in certain polygons.
متن کاملBounded Geodesics of Riemann Surfaces and Hyperbolic Manifolds
We study the set of bounded geodesies of hyperbolic manifolds. For general Riemann surfaces and for hyperbolic manifolds with some finiteness assumption on their geometry we determine its Hausdorff dimension. Some applications to diophantine approximation are included.
