Badly approximable systems of linear forms over a field of formal series

Simon Kristensen (2006)

Journal de Théorie des Nombres de Bordeaux

We prove that the Hausdorff dimension of the set of badly approximable systems of m linear forms in n variables over the field of Laurent series with coefficients from a finite field is maximal. This is an analogue of Schmidt’s multi-dimensional generalisation of Jarník’s Theorem on badly approximable numbers.

Bad(s,t) is hyperplane absolute winning

Erez Nesharim, David Simmons (2014)

Acta Arithmetica

J. An proved that for any s,t ≥ 0 such that s + t = 1, Bad (s,t) is (34√2)¯¹-winning for Schmidt's game. We show that using the main lemma from [An] one can derive a stronger result, namely that Bad (s,t) is hyperplane absolute winning in the sense of [BFKRW]. As a consequence, one can deduce the full Hausdorff dimension of Bad (s,t) intersected with certain fractals.

Best simultaneous diophantine approximations of some cubic algebraic numbers

Nicolas Chevallier (2002)

Journal de théorie des nombres de Bordeaux

Let α be a real algebraic number of degree 3 over whose conjugates are not real. There exists an unit ζ of the ring of integer of K = ( α ) for which it is possible to describe the set of all best approximation vectors of θ = ( ζ , ζ 2 ) .’

Birational transformations and values of the Riemann zeta-function

Carlo Viola (2003)

Journal de théorie des nombres de Bordeaux

In his proof of Apery’s theorem on the irrationality of ζ ( 3 ) , Beukers [B] introduced double and triple integrals of suitable rational functions yielding good sequences of rational approximations to ζ ( 2 ) and ζ ( 3 ) . Beukers’ method was subsequently improved by Dvornicich and Viola, by Hata, and by Rhin and Viola. We give here a survey of our recent results ([RV2] and [RV3]) on the irrationality measures of ζ ( 2 ) and ζ ( 3 ) based upon a new algebraic method involving birational transformations and permutation groups...
