On some properties of irrational subspaces

Abstract: In this paper we discuss some properties of completely irrational subspaces. We prove that there exist completely irrational subspaces that are badly approximable and, moreover, sets of such subspaces are winning in different senses. We get some bounds for Diophantine exponents of vectors that lie in badly approximable subspaces that are completely irrational; in particular, for any vector

x i

from two-dimensional badly approximable completely irrational subspace of

m a t h b b R^{d}

one has

h a t o m e g a (x i) l e q f r a c s q r t 5 - 1 2

. Besides that, some statements about the dimension of subspaces generated by best approximations to completely irrational subspace easily follow from properties that we discuss.

Review text

The author recalls the concepts of rational subspaces, irrational and badly approximable subspaces. Also, briefly describes a classical game introduced by \textit{W. M. Schmidt}, [Diophantine approximation. Springer-Verlag (1980; Zbl 0421.10019)]. One of the main results of the paper is the following:\par Theorem 2.1: Suppose that \(\alpha\) and \(\beta\) satisfy \(2\alpha\leq 1+\alpha\beta\). Then the set \(I(n,m)\) of all \(n \times m\)-matrices \(\theta\) defining \(n\)-dimensional completely irrational subspace of the form \(\mathcal L=\{(x,y):x\in\mathbb R^n, y=\theta x\}\) in \(\mathbb R^{n+m}\) is \((\alpha, \beta)\)-winning. In particular \(I(n,m)\) is \(\alpha\)-winning for \(\alpha\le 1/2\).
