Abstract

We develop a new framework, inspired by Schmidt's games, to study the Lagrange spectrum for simultaneous Diophantine approximation in dimension $d\geq 2$. We show the Hausdorff dimension of the set of points in $\mathbb{R}^{d}$ whose best approximation constant lies in $[\varepsilon,\varepsilon(1+\delta\varepsilon^{d})]$, for some constant $\delta>0$, is positive, and for a slightly larger set approaches full dimension as $\varepsilon \to 0$. The proof combines a novel application of the Simplex lemma near rational points with the game-theoretic framework. We also use an elementary observation to show that the naturally defined Lagrange spectrum for systems of linear forms is uncountable in the case of square matrices.

Density of the multidimensional Lagrange spectrum

The Lagrange spectrum is a classical object in number theory, defined as the set of values of $\liminf_{q\to\infty} q\, \mathrm{dist}(q\alpha,\mathbb{Z})$ where $\alpha$ runs through irrational numbers. It has a complicated structure, with the discrete part, Hall's ray, and a transitional part in between. One can simil...

Dimension-free estimates for the full discrete Euclidean ball maximal function

Let $M_t$ denote the normalized average over the lattice points in the Euclidean ball of radius $t$ in $\mathbb{Z}^d$. We prove that the full maximal operator $f\mapsto\sup_{t\geq0}\lvert M_t f\rvert$ is bounded on $\ell^p(\mathbb{Z}^d)$, for every $1<p\leq\infty$, with a constant independent of the dimension. In parti...

Dimension-free estimates for full discrete maximal functions associated with Euclidean balls and spheres

We prove that the full discrete Hardy-Littlewood maximal operator associated with Euclidean balls satisfies dimension-free bounds on $\ell^p(\mathbb Z^d)$ for every $1<p<\infty$. We also establish analogous dimension-free bounds for the full discrete spherical maximal operator when $d\geq 5$ and $2\leq p<\infty$. The m...

On the structure of uniform Tur\'an densities

Motivated by parallel developments in ordinary and $\ell$-degree Tur\'an problems, we study the set of $(r-2)$-uniform Tur\'an densities of possibly infinite families of $r$-uniform hypergraphs. We prove that, for all sufficiently large $r$, these densities exhibit a phase transition at $4r^{-r}$, from a countable set...

Exact Asymptotics of the Multidimensional Nikolskii Constant

We prove the exact asymptotics of the multidimensional normalized $L^1$ Nikolskii constant \[ \mathcal L^*(d)=\Bigl(\frac{\pi}{2}+o(1)\Bigr)2^{-d}, \quad d\to\infty. \] In addition, for each fixed dimension we obtain asymptotics for the positive zeros of the extremal function $\varphi_d$, and determine their limiting d...

Exponential improvements in Rado's covering problem

Let $B^d$ denote the $d$-dimensional Euclidean ball of unit radius. What is the largest constant $f(B^d) \in [0,1]$ with the property that every finite collection $\mathcal{C}$ of unit balls in $\mathbb{R}^d$ admits a disjoint sub-collection $\mathcal{S}$ occupying at least a fraction $f(B^d)$ of the volume of $\mathca...
