Beresnevich–Yang conjecture for simultaneous approximation on nondegenerate curves

About 1 year old · traced to

Let Mn,1\mathbf{M}_{n,1} be the set of nondegenerate curves in Rn\mathbb{R}^n; that is, curves C={f(x):x∈I, f:I→Rn}\mathcal{C}=\{\mathbf{f}(x): x\in I,\ \mathbf{f}:I\to \mathbb{R}^n\} such that they are continuously differentiable enough times and the set of their derivatives at each point x∈Ix\in I spans Rn\mathbb{R}^n. Let τ(M)\tau(\mathbf{M}) be the supremum of the values τ\tau such that

dim⁡(Sn(λ)∩M)=n+1λ+1−codim⁡M\dim(S_n(\lambda)\cap\mathcal{M})=\frac{n+1}{\lambda+1}-\operatorname{codim}\mathcal{M}

whenever 1/n≤λ<τ1/n\leq\lambda<\tau for every manifold M∈M\mathcal{M}\in\mathbf{M}. Beresnevich–Yang conjecture.

τn,1=τ(Mn,1)=32n−1.\tau_{n,1}=\tau(\mathbf{M}_{n,1})=\frac{3}{2n-1}.

This conjecture asks for the exact threshold up to which the expected Hausdorff-dimension formula holds uniformly for all nondegenerate curves in Rn\mathbb{R}^n. The stated results establish the formula for a smaller interval of exponents close to 1/n1/n, while the conjectured value 3/(2n−1)3/(2n-1) remains the proposed endpoint.
