Review text

By use of hyperbolic \(n+1\)-space, the author gives various results for diophantine approximation in Euclidean \(n\)-space. The ideas here generalize a very successful approach to one-dimensional approximation of reals by rationals. In particular, the Hurwitz constant of approximation is determined for the Bianchi group \(GL_2({\mathcal O}_{15})\), where \({\mathcal O}_{15}\) is the ring of integers of \({\mathbb Q}({\mathcal O}_{15})\). A general, sharp, upper estimate for the Hurwitz constant for any geometrically finite discrete subgroup of the oriented isometry group of Euclidean space is given in terms of suitable fundamental domains. The approach is based upon continued fraction algorithms and Farey tessellations, generalizing work of \textit{A. L. Schmidt} [Acta Math. 134, 1-85 (1975; Zbl 0329.10023)] and closely related to that of L. E. Ford at the beginning of the 20th century. For the entire collection see [Zbl 0910.00037].
