A. Baker's conjecture for approximation on the Veronese curve

At least 11 years old · documented by

Let ψ:N→R+\psi:\mathbb{N}\to\mathbb{R}^+ be decreasing, let An(ψ):={x∈Rn:∃∞q∈Zn such that ∥q⋅x∥<ψ(∣q∣)}A_n(\psi):=\{\mathbf{x}\in\mathbb{R}^n:\exists^\infty\mathbf{q}\in\mathbb{Z}^n\text{ such that }\|\mathbf{q}\cdot\mathbf{x}\|<\psi(|\mathbf{q}|)\}, and let M=Vn\mathcal{M}=\mathcal{V}_n with induced Lebesgue measure ∣⋅∣M|\cdot|_\mathcal{M}. A. Baker's conjecture.

∣An(ψ)∩M∣M={0if ∑q=1∞qn−1ψ(q)<∞,∣M∣Mif ∑q=1∞qn−1ψ(q)=∞.|A_n(\psi)\cap\mathcal{M}|_\mathcal{M}=\begin{cases}0&\text{if }\displaystyle\sum_{q=1}^{\infty}q^{n-1}\psi(q)<\infty,\\ |\mathcal{M}|_\mathcal{M}&\text{if }\displaystyle\sum_{q=1}^{\infty}q^{n-1}\psi(q)=\infty.\end{cases}

Here the full-measure alternative means that the complement in M\mathcal{M} has measure zero. The conjecture was subsequently proved for all non-degenerate submanifolds, so it is solved.
