Smallest denominators (Q6614895)

The present paper deals with multidimensional Farey fractions. One can note the author description:\N\N``We establish higher dimensional versions of a recent theorem by \textit{H. Chen} and \textit{A. Haynes} [Int. J. Number Theory 19, No. 6, 1405--1413 (2023; Zbl 1528.11061)] on the expected value of the smallest denominator of rational points in a randomly shifted interval of small length, and of the closely related 1977 Kruyswijk-Meijer conjecture recently proved by \textit{M. Balazard} and \textit{B. Martin} [Bull. Sci. Math. 187, Article ID 103305, 22 p. (2023; Zbl 1539.11035)]. We express the distribution of smallest denominators in terms of the void statistics of multidimensional Farey fractions and prove convergence of the distribution function and certain finite moments. The latter was previously unknown even in the onedimensional setting...'' In addition, new results on pigeonhole statistics, as well as a certain higher dimensional extension of known results on moments of the distance function for the Farey sequence, are obtained.\N\NAll proofs are given with explanations, used techniques are discussed, as well as the motivation and connections with related results are given. Auxiliary notions are recalled.
