Abstract

Mathematics - Number Theory
The present paper is a sequel to arXiv:1910.02067 in which results of that paper are generalized so that they hold in the setting of inhomogeneous Diophantine approximation. Given any integers $n \geq 2$ and $\ell \geq 1$, any $\pmb \xi = (\xi_1, \dots, \xi_\ell) \in \mathbb{R}^\ell$, and any homogeneous function $f = (f_1, \dots , f_\ell): \mathbb{R}^n \to \mathbb{R}^\ell$ that satisfies a certain nonsingularity assumption, we obtain a biconditional criterion on the approximating function $\psi = (\psi_1, \dots, \psi_\ell): \mathbb{R}_{\geq 0} \to (\mathbb{R}_{>0})^\ell$ for a generic element in the $G$-orbit of $f$ to be (respectively, not to be) $\psi$-approximable at $\pmb \xi$: that is, for there to exist infinitely many (respectively, only finitely many) $\mathbf{v} \in \mathbb{Z}^n$ such that $|\xi_j - (f_j \circ g)(\mathbf{v})| \leq \psi_j(\|\mathbf{v}\|)$ for each $j \in \{1, \dots, \ell\}$. In this setting, we also obtain a sufficient condition for uniform approximation. We also consider some examples of $f$ that do not satisfy our nonsingularity assumptions and prove similar results for these examples. Here, $G$ can be any closed subgroup of $\mathrm{ASL}_n(\mathbb{R})$ (such as $\mathrm{ASL}_n(\mathbb{R})$ itself or $\mathrm{SL}_n(\mathbb{R})$) that satisfies certain axioms introduced by the authors in the aforementioned previous paper.
