Abstract: In a recent paper of Akhunzhanov and Shatskov the two-dimensional Dirichlet spectrum with respect to Euclidean norm was defined. We consider an analogous definition for arbitrary norms on $mathbb{R}^2$ and prove that, for each such norm, the set of Dirichlet improvable pairs contains the set of badly approximable pairs, hence is hyperplane absolute winning. To prove this we make a careful study of some classical results in the geometry of numbers due to Chalk--Rogers and Mahler to establish a Haj'{o}s--Minkowski type result for the critical locus of a cylinder. As a corollary, using a recent result of the first named author with Mirzadeh, we conclude that for any norm on $mathbb{R}^2$ the top of the Dirichlet spectrum is not an isolated point.

Review text

The two-dimensional Dirichlet spectrum with respect to Euclidean norm is defined in [\textit{R. K. Akhunzhanov} and \textit{D. O. Shatskov}, Mosc. J. Comb. Number Theory 3, No. 3--4, 5--23 (2013; Zbl 1339.11071)]. The present paper deals with an analogous definition for arbitrary norms on \(\mathbb R^2\). The main result of this research is to prove ``that, for each such norm, the set of Dirichlet-improvable pairs contains the set of badly approximable pairs, and hence is hyperplane absolute winning. The authors note that to prove this they make a careful study of some classical results in the geometry of numbers due to Chalk-Rogers and Mahler to establish a Hajós-Minkowski-type result for the critical locus of a cylinder. In addition, it is proven that the top of the Dirichlet spectrum is not an isolated point for any norm on \(\mathbb R^2\). Special attention is given to a survey on related known results. Proofs are given with explanations and figures. Finally, some open problems are discussed by the authors.
