Extrinsic Diophantine approximation on manifolds and fractals (1406.0785v3)

Published 3 Jun 2014 in math.NT

Abstract: Fix $d\in\mathbb N$, and let $S\subseteq\mathbb Rd$ be either a real-analytic manifold or the limit set of an iterated function system (for example, $S$ could be the Cantor set or the von Koch snowflake). An $extrinsic$ Diophantine approximation to a point $\mathbf x\in S$ is a rational point $\mathbf p/q$ close to $\mathbf x$ which lies $outside$ of $S$. These approximations correspond to a question asked by K. Mahler ('84) regarding the Cantor set. Our main result is an extrinsic analogue of Dirichlet's theorem. Specifically, we prove that if $S$ does not contain a line segment, then for every $\mathbf x\in S\setminus\mathbb Qd$, there exists $C > 0$ such that infinitely many vectors $\mathbf p/q\in \mathbb Qd\setminus S$ satisfy $|\mathbf x - \mathbf p/q| < C/q{(d + 1)/d}$. As this formula agrees with Dirichlet's theorem in $\mathbb Rd$ up to a multiplicative constant, one concludes that the set of rational approximants to points in $S$ which lie outside of $S$ is large. Furthermore, we deduce extrinsic analogues of the Jarn\'ik--Schmidt and Khinchin theorems from known results.
