Abstract: In this paper, we associate an invariant $alph{a}_x(L)$ to an algebraic point $x$ on an algebraic variety $X$ with an ample line bundle $L$. The invariant $alpha$ measures how well $x$ can be approximated by rational points on $X$, with respect to the height function associated to $L$. We show that this invariant is closely related to the Seshadri constant $epsilo{n}_x(L)$ measuring local positivity of $L$ at $x$, and in particular that Roth's theorem on $mathbf{P}^1$ generalizes as an inequality between these two invariants valid for arbitrary projective varieties.
