Abstract: Let $hetainmathbb{R}^d$. We associate three objects to each approximation $(p,q)inmathbb{Z}^{d}imesmathbbN$ of $heta$: the projection of the lattice $mathbb{Z}^{d+1}$ to the hyperplane of the first $d$ coordinates along the approximating vector $(p,q)$; the displacement vector $(p-qheta)$; and the residue classes of the components of the $(d+1)$-tuple $(p,q)$ modulo all primes. All of these have been studied in connection with Diophantine approximation problems. We consider the asymptotic distribution of all of these quantities, properly rescaled, as $(p,q)$ ranges over the best approximants and $epsilon$-approximants of $heta$, and describe limiting measures on the relevant spaces, which hold for Lebesgue a.e. $heta$. We also consider a similar problem for vectors $heta$ whose components, together with 1, span a totally real number field of degree $d+1$. Our technique involve recasting the problem as an equidistribution problem for a cross-section of a one-parameter flow on an adelic space, which is a fibration over the space of $(d+1)$-dimensional lattices. Our results generalize results of many previous authors, to higher dimensions and to joint equidistribution.
