Abstract

Mathematics - Number Theory
In 1926 Khintchine introduced a topological argument proving the existence of uncountably many nontrivial singular linear forms ofn ≥ 2variables. Throughout the years, this argument has been extensively modified and generalized. Most recently, Kleinbock et al. (2025) introduced a general framework of Diophantine systems and showed that a certain topological property called total density implies a far-reaching generalization of Khintchine's result. We describe a way to establish total density for a variety of Diophantine systems, and thus prove that the sets of singular objects are uncountable and dense in a wide range of set-ups in Diophantine approximation. As a special case, we establish such a result for inhomogeneous approximation, proving the existence of uncountably many singular systems of affine forms with a fixed translation part. One can also consider approximation with prime denominators, or more generally, approximation under some strong restrictions on numerators and denominators.
