Simultaneous approximation to values of the exponential function over the adeles (Q785337)

Using the continued fraction expansion of \(e\) and \(e^{2/m}\) by Euler, Sundman and Hurwitz one may derive very good measures of rational approximations to these numbers, see, e.g., \textit{P. Bundschuh} [Math. Ann. 192, 229--242 (1971; Zbl 0206.05803)]. The author shows that Hermite's approximations to values of the exponential function at given algebraic numbers are nearly optimal when considered from an adelic perspective. The main result is a far reaching simultaneous generalization of the following theorem: Let \(K \subset \mathbb C\) be the field \(\mathbb Q\) or a quadratic imaginary extension of \(\mathbb Q\), and let \(\alpha\) be a non-zero element of \(K\) such that \(|\alpha|_v \ge p^{-1/(p-1)}\) for each prime number \(p\) and each place \(v\) of \(K\) with \(v | p\). Then, for any \(x, y \in\mathcal{O}_K\) with \(|x| > 1\), we have \[ |x|\cdot |xe^{\alpha}-y| \ge c(\log |x|)^{-2g-1}, \] where \(g\) stands for the number of places \(v\) of \(K\) with \(v | \infty\) or \(|\alpha|_v\ne 1\), and where \(c \geq 0\) is a constant depending only on \(\alpha\) and \(K\).
