Inhomogeneous theory of dual Diophantine approximation on manifolds

摘要

The theory of inhomogeneous Diophantine approximation on manifolds is developed. In particular, the notion of nice manifolds is introduced and the divergence part of the Groshev type theory is established for all such manifolds. Our results naturally incorporate and generalize the homogeneous measure and dimension theorems for non-degenerate manifolds established to date. The results have natural applications beyond the standard inhomogeneous theory such as Diophantine approximation by algebraic integers.
