A shrinking target problem in rank one homogeneous spaces

Vortrag von Dr. Cheng Zheng

The Khintchine’s theorem in the metric theory of Diophantine approximation says that the subset of Diophantine numbers of type r > 1 has full Lebesgue measure. The Jarník-Besicovitch theorem states further that its complement has Hausdorff dimension 2/(1 + r). A dynamical point of view on the Jarník-Besicovitch theorem is the shrinking target problem proposed by Hill and Velani. In this talk, we will discuss our work about a shrinking target problem in rank one homogeneous spaces and a result of Jarník-Besicovitch theorem in the metric theory of Diophantine approximation on Heisenberg groups. If time permits, we will also discuss the connection between our work and sparse equidistribution problem. Zoom link: https://ethz.zoom.us/j/65329488712
