The generalized Baker–Schmidt problem for Hausdorff measure

About 12 years old · traced to

Let ψ:N→R+\psi:\mathbb{N}\to\mathbb{R}^+ be an approximation function, let M⊂Rn\mathcal{M}\subset\mathbb{R}^n be an mm-dimensional submanifold, and let s>m−1s>m-1. Assume that M\mathcal{M} is non-degenerate everywhere except possibly on a set of zero Hausdorff ss-measure. Define

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}|)\}.

Generalized Baker–Schmidt problem for Hausdorff measure.

Hs(An(ψ)∩M)={0if ∑q=1∞(ψ(q)q)s+1−mqn<∞,Hs(M)if ∑q=1∞(ψ(q)q)s+1−mqn=∞.\mathcal{H}^s(A_n(\psi)\cap\mathcal{M})=\begin{cases}0&\text{if }\displaystyle\sum_{q=1}^{\infty}\left(\frac{\psi(q)}q\right)^{s+1-m}q^n<\infty,\\ \mathcal{H}^s(\mathcal{M})&\text{if }\displaystyle\sum_{q=1}^{\infty}\left(\frac{\psi(q)}q\right)^{s+1-m}q^n=\infty.\end{cases}

The source presents this as a delicate conjectural generalization and notes the necessity of the exceptional-set hypothesis; its status is not resolved there.
