AbstractIt is a well known fact that most of the Diophantine properties of a real number $\alpha$ are determined by its regular continued fraction expansion.In particular, from continued fraction we obtain all the best approximations to $\alpha$.In my talk, I will discuss the behaviour of best approximations in higher dimensional problems related to approximation of irrational linear subspaces ...
Abstract:Let x in R^d be a vector and let (p k, g k) in Z^d \times N denote its sequence of best approximationvectors, with respect to some norm. in the case d=1, the properties ofthis sequence for a.e. x are understood via the continued fraction algorithm, and the ergodic theory of this algorithm can be useoto obtain various limit laws such as the generic growth rate of the denominators, the d...
