DESCRIPTION:Title: Random walks\, spectral gaps\, and Khintchine's theorem on fractals\nby Osama Khalil (The University of Utah) as part of Webinar on Diophan
tine approximation and homogeneous dynamics\n\n\nAbstract\nIn 1984\, Mahle
r asked how well typical points on Cantor’s set can be approximated by r
ational numbers. His question fits within a program\, set out by himself i
n the 1930s\, attempting to determine conditions under which subsets of $\
\mathbb{R}^d$ inherit the Diophantine properties of the ambient space. Sin
ce the approximability of typical points in Euclidean space by rational po
ints is governed by Khintchine’s classical theorem\, the ultimate form o
f Mahler’s question asks whether an analogous zero-one law holds for fra
ctal measures. Significant progress has been achieved in recent years\, al
beit\, almost all known results have been of “convergence type”.\nIn t
his talk\, we will discuss the first instances where a complete analogue o
f Khinchine’s theorem for fractal measures is obtained. The class of fra
ctals for which our results hold includes those generated by rational simi
larities of $\\mathbb{R}^d$ and having sufficiently small Hausdorff co-dim
ension. The main new ingredient is an effective equidistribution theorem f
or certain fractal measures on the space of unimodular lattices. The latte
r is established via a new technique involving the construction of $S$-ari
thmetic Markov operators possessing a spectral gap and encoding the arithm
etic structure of the maps generating the fractal. This is joint work in p
rogress with Manuel Luethi.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: On the Duffin-Schaeffer Conjecture\nby James Maynard (University
of Oxford) as part of Webinar on Diophantine approximation and homogeneous
dynamics\n\n\nAbstract\nAlmost 80 years ago Duffin and Schaeffer conjectu
red a beautiful strengthening of Khinchin's classical result: Given a sequ
ence of possible forms of rational approximation\, either almost all reals
can be approximated in this manner or almost none can be\, and there is a
simple calculation to tell which case we are in.\nI'll talk about recent
work with D. Koukoulopoulos which establishes this conjecture. This relies
on a blend of different techniques\, recasting the problem as a structura
l question in additive combinatorics\, and then approaching this via study
ing a particular family of graphs to reduce it to a problem in analytic nu
mber theory.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: Winning property of badly approximable points on curves\nby Lei Y
ang (Sichuan University) as part of Webinar on Diophantine approximation a
nd homogeneous dynamics\n\n\nAbstract\nWe will prove that badly approximab
le points (no matter weighted or unweighted) on any analytic non-degenerat
e curve in $\\mathbb{R}^n$ is an absolute winning set. This confirms a key
conjecture in the area stated by Badziahin and Velani (2014) which repres
ents a far-reaching generalisation of Davenport's problem from the 1960s.
Amongst various consequences of our main result is a solution to Bugeaud's
problem on real numbers badly approximable by algebraic numbers of arbitr
ary degree. This work is joint with Victor Beresnevich and Erez Nesharim.\

DESCRIPTION:Title: Singular vectors: from Khintchine to nowadays\nby Nikolay Moshche
vitin (Moscow State University) as part of Webinar on Diophantine approxim
ation and homogeneous dynamics\n\n\nAbstract\nMany concepts in Diophantine
Approximation have their origin in the \nfamous paper "Über eine Klasse
linearer diophantischer Approximationen" by A. Khintchine (1926). The resu
lts of this paper were rediscovered many times by different mathematicians
. In particular\, Khintchine was the first who observed the phenomenon of
singularity in higher-dimensional Diophantine Approximation. In our lectur
e we discuss several problems related to singular vectors and best approxi
mation (minimal points) as well as some related topics dealing with Diopha
ntine exponents and approximation on algebraic and analytic surfaces which
were considered recently in author's joint papers with D. Kleinbock and B
. Weiss. Also we suppose to discuss some related open problems.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: Mass transference principle from rectangles to rectangles in Diophant
ine approximation\nby Baowei Wang (Huazhong University of Sci. & Tech.
) as part of Webinar on Diophantine approximation and homogeneous dynamics
\n\n\nAbstract\nAs is well known\, Dirichlet's theorem and Minkowski's the
orem are two fundamental results in Diophantine approximation. One says th
at all points in R^d will fall into infinitely many balls centered at rati
onals with specific radius\; while the other says that all points will fal
l into infinitely many rectangles centered at rationals with specific side
lengths. This motives a further study on the metric theory of limsup sets
defined by a sequence of balls or rectangles. Since the landmark works of
Beresnevich & Velani (2006) and Beresnevich\, Dickinson & Velani (2006) w
here the mass transference principle was found\, the metric theory for lim
sup sets defined by a sequence balls or isotropic thicken of general sets
has been sufficiently well established. While\, the metric theory for lims
up sets defined by a sequence of rectangles are not as rich as the ball ca
se. In this talk\, I will talk about some progess on the metric theory of
the latter case by modifying the settings in the above mentioned impressin
g works.\n\nThis talk will only take one hour.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: Dirichlet Improvability\, Equidistribution\, and Grassmannians\nb
y Pengyu Yang (ETH Zurich) as part of Webinar on Diophantine approximation
and homogeneous dynamics\n\n\nAbstract\nAs a natural generalisation of Di
richlet's approximation theorem on real numbers\, Dirichlet's approximatio
n theorem on $m\\times n$ real matrices tells us the following: given $m$
real linear forms in $n$ variables\, we can find an integral vector such t
hat the evaluations of all the linear forms at this integral vector are si
multaneous small. In the 1960s Davenport and Schmidt showed that Dirichlet
’s theorem is non-improvable for almost all matrices\, and they asked if
the analogous result holds for a submanifold of the space of $m\\times n$
matrices. This problem is related to an equidistribution problem in the s
pace of unimodular lattices in $\\mathbb{R}^n$. In this talk I will presen
t some recent progress on this problem\, and I will explain its connection
s to the geometry of Grassmannian manifolds.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: Some problems in uniform Diophantine approximation\nby Anurag Rao
(Brandeis University) as part of Webinar on Diophantine approximation and
homogeneous dynamics\n\n\nAbstract\nWe study a norm sensitive Diophantine
approximation problem arising from the work of Davenport and Schmidt on t
he improvement of Dirichlet's theorem. Its supremum norm case was recently
considered by the Kleinbock and Wadleigh\, and here we extend the set-up
by replacing the supremum norm with an arbitrary norm. This gives rise to
a class of shrinking target problems for one-parameter diagonal flows on t
he space of lattices\, with the targets being neighborhoods of the critica
l locus of a suitably scaled norm ball. We use methods from geometry of nu
mbers and dynamics to generalize a result due to Andersen and Duke on meas
ure zero and uncountability of the set of numbers for which Minkowski appr
oximation theorem can be improved. The choice of the Euclidean norm on $\\
mathbb{R}^2$ corresponds to studying geodesics on a hyperbolic surface whi
ch visit a decreasing family of balls. An application of a dynamical Borel
-Cantelli lemma of Maucourant produces a zero-one law for improvement of D
irichlet's theorem in Euclidean norm. Based on joint works with Dmitry Kle
inbock and Srinivasan Sathiamurthy.\n\nThe starting time is earlier than u

DESCRIPTION:Title: Higher order uniformity of the Liouville function\nby Kaisa Mato
mäki (University of Turku) as part of Webinar on Diophantine approximatio
n and homogeneous dynamics\n\n\nAbstract\nThe Liouville function takes a v
alue +1 or -1 at a natural number $n$ depending on whether $n$ has an even
or an odd number of prime factors. The Liouville function is believed to
behave more or less randomly. In particular a famous conjecture of Sarnak
says that the Liouville function does not correlate with any sequence of "
low complexity" whereas a longstanding conjecture of Chowla says that the
Liouville function has negligible correlations with its own shifts.\nI wil
l discuss conjectures of Sarnak and Chowla and my very recent work with Ra
dziwiłł\, Tao\, Teräväinen\, and Ziegler\, where we show that\, in alm
ost all intervals of length $X^\\varepsilon$\, the Liouville function does
not correlate with polynomial phases or more generally with nilsequences.
I will also discuss applications to superpolynomial word complexity for t
he Liouville sequence and to a new averaged version of Chowla's conjecture

DESCRIPTION:Title: Simultaneous rational approximation to exponentials of algebraic num
bers\nby Damien Roy (University of Ottawa) as part of Webinar on Dioph
antine approximation and homogeneous dynamics\n\n\nAbstract\nThe theorem o
f Lindemann-Weierstrass asserts that the exponentials of distinct algebrai
c numbers are linearly independent over the field of rational numbers. The
proof uses a construction of simultaneous rational approximations to such
exponentials values\, which goes back to Hermite. In this talk\, we sho
w that\, from an adelic perspective\, these approximations are essentially
best possible. This point of view partly explains the nature of the alg
ebraic numbers whose exponentials have a structured continuous fraction ex
pansion. We also propose few specific conjectures regarding simultaneo
us approximations to such values in adèle rings.\n\nThe proof of our main
result requires a separate analysis for each place of the associated numb
er field. For the Archimedean places\, it relies on the structure of the
graph drawn in the complex plane by the paths of fastest descent for the
norm of a general univariate complex polynomial starting from the roots of
its derivative and ending in the roots of the polynomial. It happens
that this graph is a tree and that the lengths of those paths can be estim
ated from above in terms of the degree of the given polynomial and the dia
meter of its set of zeros. We will mention some instances where these up
per bounds can be greatly improved and state as an open problem whether or
not such improvements hold in general.\n

be based on joint work with Dmitry Kleinbock that has been motivated by se
veral recent papers (among them\, those of Athreya-Margulis\, Bourgain\, G
hosh-Gorodnik-Nevo\, Kelmer-Yu). Given a certain sort of group $G$ and cer
tain sorts of functions $f: \\mathbb{R}^n \\to \\mathbb{R}$ and $\\psi : \
\mathbb{R}^n \\to \\mathbb{R}_{>0}$\, we obtain necessary and sufficient c

y many (respectively\, finitely many) $v \\in \\mathbb{Z}^n$ for which $|(
f \\circ g)(v)| \\leq \\psi(\\|v\\|)$\, where $\\|\\cdot\\|$ is an arbitra
ry norm on $\\mathbb{R}^n$. We also give a sufficient condition in the set
ting of uniform approximation. As a consequence of our methods\, we obtain
generalizations to the case of vector-valued (simultaneous) approximation
with no additional effort. In our work\, we use probabilistic results in
the geometry of numbers that go back several decades to the work of Siegel
\, Rogers\, and W. Schmidt\; these results have recently found new life th

DESCRIPTION:Title: Higher dimensional gap theorems in Diophantine approximation\nby
Alan Haynes (University of Houston) as part of Webinar on Diophantine app

rem states that\, if $x$ is any real number and $N$ is any positive intege
r\, the points $x\, 2x\, … \, Nx \\mod 1$ partition the unit interval in
to component intervals having at most $3$ distinct lengths. There are many
higher dimensional analogues of this theorem\, and in this talk we will d
iscuss two of them. In the first we consider points of the form $mx+ny \\m
od 1$\, where $x$ and $y$ are real numbers and $m$ and $n$ are integers ta
ken from an expanding set in the plane. This version of the problem was pr
eviously studied by Geelen and Simpson\, Chevallier\, Erdős\, and many ot
her people\, and it is closely related to the Littlewood conjecture in Dio
phantine approximation. The second version of the problem is a straightfor
ward generalization to rotations on higher dimensional tori which\, surpri
singly\, has been largely overlooked in the literature. For the two dimens
ional torus\, we are able to prove a five distance theorem\, which is best
possible. In higher dimensions we also have bounds\, but establishing opt
imal bounds is an open problem. The first hour of this talk will be exposi

t the projection to the $2$-torus of the normalised parameter measure on a
circle of radius $R$ in the plane becomes uniformly distributed as $R$ gr
ows to infinity. I will discuss the following natural discrete analogue fo
r this problem. Starting from an angle and a sequence of radii $\\{R_n\\}$
which diverges to infinity\, I will consider the projection to the 2-toru
s of the $n$'th roots of unity rotated by this angle and dilated by a fact
or of $R_n$. The interesting regime in this problem is when $R_n$ is much
larger than $n$ so that the dilated roots of unity appear sparsely on the
dilated circle. I will discuss 3 types of results:\n\n1. Validity of equid
istribution for all angles when the sparsity is polynomial.\n\n2. Failure
of equidistribution for some super polynomial dilations.\n\n3. Equidistrib
ution for almost all angles for arbitrary dilations.\n\nI will then pass t

k and Tomanov\, where the $S$-adic case of the Baker-Sprindzuk conjectures
were settled in full generality. We provide a complete $p$-adic analogue
of the results of D. Kleinbock on Diophantine exponents of affine subspace
s. This answers a conjecture of Kleinbock and Tomanov. Recently\, we prove
d $S$-arithmetic inhomogeneous Khintchine type theorems on analytic nondeg
enerate manifolds. For $S$ consisting of more than one valuation\, the div
ergence results are new even in the homogeneous setting. This aformentione

also it generalizes the work of Golsefidy and Mohammadi. In the first hal

new results presented in this talk are joint work with Anish Ghosh.\n

art of Webinar on Diophantine approximation and homogeneous dynamics\n\n\n
Abstract\nConsider the set of points in a homogeneous space $G/\\Gamma$\nw
hose $g_t$-orbit misses a fixed open set. It has measure zero\nif the flow
is ergodic. It has been conjectured that this set has\nHausdorff dimensio
n strictly smaller than the dimension of whole space. This\nconjecture is
proved when $G/\\Gamma$ is compact or when has real rank. In\nthis talk we
will prove the conjecture for probably the most important\nexample of the
higher rank case namely: $\\SL(m+n\, \\R)/\\SL(m+n\, \\Z)$ and $g_t = \\m
athrm{diag}\\{e^{t/m}\, \\dots \, e^{t/m}\, e^{-t/n}\, \\dots\, e^{-t/n}\\
}$. This\nhomogeneous space has many applications in Diophantine\napproxim
ation that will be discussed in the talk if time permits. This\nproject is
joint work with Dmitry Kleinbock.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: Furstenberg's conjecture\, Mahler's method\, and finite automata
\nby Boris Adamczewski (Claude Bernard University Lyon 1) as part of Webin
ar on Diophantine approximation and homogeneous dynamics\n\n\nAbstract\nIt
is commonly expected that expansions of numbers in multiplicatively indep
endent bases\, such as 2 and 10\, should have no common structure. However
\, it seems extraordinarily difficult to confirm this naive heuristic prin
ciple in some way or another. In the late 1960s\, Furstenberg suggested a
series of conjectures\, which became famous and aim to capture this heuris
tic. The work I will discuss in this talk is motivated by one of these con
jectures. Despite recent remarkable progress by Shmerkin and Wu\, it remai
ns totally out of reach of the current methods. While Furstenberg’s conj
ectures take place in a dynamical setting\, I will use instead the languag
e of automata theory to formulate some related conjectures that formalize
and express in a different way the same general heuristic. I will explain
how the latter follow from some recent advances in Mahler's method\; a met
hod in transcendental number theory initiated by Mahler in the end of the
1920s. This a joint work with Colin Faverjon.\n

DESCRIPTION:Title: Linear repetitivity in polytopal cut and project sets\nby Henna
Koivusalo (University of Bristol) as part of Webinar on Diophantine approx
imation and homogeneous dynamics\n\n\nAbstract\nCut and project sets are a
periodic point patterns obtained by projecting an irrational slice of the
integer lattice to a subspace. One way of classifying aperiodic sets is to
study the number and repetition of finite patterns. From this perspective
\, sets with patterns repeating linearly often\, called linearly repetitiv
e sets\, can be viewed as the most ordered aperiodic sets. Repetitivity of
a cut and project set depends on the slope and shape of the irrational sl
ice. The cross-section of the slice is known as the window. In earlier wor
ks\, joint with subsets of {Haynes\, Julien\, Sadun\, Walton}\, we showed
that many properties of cut and project sets with a cube window can be stu
died in the language of Diophantine approximation. For example\, linear re
petitivity holds if and only if the following two conditions are satisfied
: (i) the cut and project set has minimal number of different finite patte
rns (minimal complexity)\, and (ii) the irrational slope satisfies a badly
approximable condition. In a new joint work with Jamie Walton\, we give a
generalisation of this result to all polytopal windows satisfying a mild
geometric condition. A key step in the proof is a decomposition of the cut
and project scheme\, which allows us to make sense of condition (ii) for
general polytopal windows.\nThe talk will cover motivation and history of
studying cut and project sets\, showcase a series of results on their repe
titivity properties highlighting the number theory connections\, and finis
h with the new results which move beyond Diophantine approximation.\n

vergence of $\\sum_{q=1}^{\\infty}{q^{n-1}\\psi(q)^m}$. In the homogeneous
case\, it is now known that the monotonicity condition on $\\psi$ can be
removed whenever $nm>1$\, and cannot be removed when $nm=1$. In this talk
I will discuss recent work with Felipe A. Ramírez (Wesleyan\, US) in whic
h we show that the inhomogeneous Khintchine-Groshev Theorem is true withou
t the monotonicity assumption on $\\psi$ whenever $nm>2$. This result brin
gs the inhomogeneous theory almost in line with the completed homogeneous
theory. I will survey previous results towards removing monotonicity from
the homogeneous and inhomogeneous Khintchine-Groshev Theorem before discus
sing the main ideas behind the proof our recent result.\n
