A new exponent of simultaneous rational approximation

Abstract: We introduce a new exponent of simultaneous rational approximation

w i d e h a t {l a m b d a}_{m i n} (x i, e t a)

for pairs of real numbers

x i, e t a

, in complement to the classical exponents

l a m b d a (x i, e t a)

of best approximation, and

w i d e h a t l a m b d a (x i, e t a)

of uniform approximation. It generalizes Fischler's exponent

in the sense that

whenever

l a m b d a (x i, x i^{2}) = 1

. Using parametric geometry of numbers, we provide a complete description of the set of values taken by

(l a m b d a, w i d e h a t {l a m b d a}_{m i n})

at pairs

(x i, e t a)

with

1

,

x i

,

e t a

linearly independent over

m a t h b f Q

.
