Spectrum of the exponents of best rational approximation (Q284782)

In this paper, the author used ideas coming from the recent theory of \textit{W. M. Schmidt} and \textit{L. Summerer} about parametric geometry of numbers [Acta Arith. 140, No. 1, 67--91 (2009; Zbl 1236.11060); Monatsh. Math. 169, No. 1, 51--104 (2013; Zbl 1264.11056)] as well as ideas from his own previous paper [Ann. Math. (2) 182, No. 2, 739--786 (2015; Zbl 1328.11076)] to establish results about best rational approximation. It is proved that the going-up and going-down transference inequalities of \textit{W. M. Schmidt} [Ann. Math. (2) 85, 430--472 (1967; Zbl 0152.03602)] and \textit{M. Laurent} [in: Analytic number theory. Essays in honour of Klaus Roth on the occasion of his 80th birthday. Cambridge: Cambridge University Press. 306--314 (2009; Zbl 1163.11053)] describe the full spectrum of the \(n\) exponents of best rational approximation to points in \(\mathbb R^{n+1}\).
