Abstract: In this paper we define Diophantine exponents of lattices and investigate some of their properties. We prove transference inequalities and construct some examples with the help of Schmidt's subspace theorem.


The author notes two classical techniques to measure the ``size of the \(n\)-tuple \((l_1(\mathbf z), l_2(\mathbf z), \dots , l_n(\mathbf z))\), where \(\mathbf z\) ranges through non-zero integer points and \( l_i (\mathbf z)\) (here \(i=1,\ldots, n)\) are linearly independent linear forms in \(d\) real variables, \(n< d\). The cases when \(d< n\) and \(d=n\) are considered. A definition of the Diophantine exponent is given. First, a notion of the Diophantine exponent \(\omega (\Lambda)\) of a lattice \(\Lambda\) is defined and two corollaries of Schmidt's subspace theorem are proved. Second, the attention is given to the transference theorem, i.e, statements connecting \(\omega(\Lambda)\) and \(\omega(\Lambda^{*})\), where \(\Lambda^{*}\) is a dual lattice. This theorem is proved by the concept of a pseudo-compound parallelepiped and by a general transference theorem. Third, Section 4 of this paper is devoted to the problem on a subset of \((\mathbb R \cup \{\infty\})^2\) formed by the pairs \((\omega(\Lambda), \omega(\Lambda^{*}))\) if \(\Lambda\) runs through the space of lattices in \(\mathbb R^d\). In this paper, the investigations are described in combination with a brief survey and with an indication of open problems.
