Determinants in the study of Thue's method and curves with prescribed singularities.
We prove a quantitative version of a result of Furstenberg [20] and Deligne [14] stating that the diagonal of a multivariate algebraic power series with coefficients in a field of positive characteristic is algebraic. As a consequence, we obtain that for every prime the reduction modulo of the diagonal of a multivariate algebraic power series with integer coefficients is an algebraic power series of degree at most and height at most , where is an effective constant that only depends on...
Soient une variété de groupe définie sur le corps des nombres algébriques, et un sous-groupe à paramètres de , de dimension algébrique . Nous nous proposons de majorer le rang (sur ) des sous-groupes de dont l’image par est contenue dans le groupe des points algébriques de .E. Bombieri et S. Lang ont déjà obtenu de telles majorations, en supposant que les points de sont très bien distribués : pour , on a pour des variétés linéaires, et pour des variétés abéliennes .Nous...
We consider expansions of real numbers in non-integer bases. These expansions are generated by β-shifts. We prove that some sets arising in metric number theory have the countable intersection property. This allows us to consider sets of reals that have common properties in a countable number of different (non-integer) bases. Some of the results are new even for integer bases.
This paper introduces some methods to determine the simultaneous approximation constants of a class of well approximable numbers . The approach relies on results on the connection between the set of all -adic expansions () of and their associated approximation constants. As an application, explicit construction of real numbers with prescribed approximation properties are deduced and illustrated by Matlab plots.
In this paper, we extend the theory of simultaneous Diophantine approximation to infinite dimensions. Moreover, we discuss Dirichlet-type theorems in a very general framework and define what it means for such a theorem to be optimal. We show that optimality is implied by but does not imply the existence of badly approximable points.
