The paper under review contains the announcement of two results along with sketches of their proofs. Both are concerned with algebraic approximation. The first result concerns the inequality \[ | P(x) +d | < \psi(H(P)), \] where \(d\) is a fixed real number, \(P\) varies over the integer polynomials of degree at most \(n \geq 2\) and \(H(P)\) denotes the maximum absolute value among the coefficients of \(P\). The result states that if \(\sum H^{n-1} \psi(H) < \infty\), then the set of points for which this inequality is satisfied for infinitely many polynomials is of Lebesgue measure zero. Note that there is no assumption of monotonicity on the error function \(\psi\). The second result concerns simultaneous approximation in \({\mathbb R} \times {\mathbb Q}_p\) for a prime \(p\). In this case, the inequalities \[ | P(x)| < \psi(H(P)), \quad | P(w)|_p < \psi(H(P)), \] are studied, where \(P\) again runs over the integer polynomials of degree at most \(n \geq 2\). In this case, the measure of the set of points \((x,w) \in {\mathbb R} \times {\mathbb Q}_p\) such that this system of inequalities is satisfied for infinitely many polynomials is zero, provided that \(\sum H^{n-1} \psi(H)^2 < \infty\). The proofs -- which are only sketched -- depend on the method of essential and inessential domains.
