Approximation by uniformly distributed sequences

We consider approximation properties of real points by uniformly distributed sequences. Under some assumptions on the approximation functions, we prove a Khintchine‐type 0‐1 dichotomy law. We establish a new connection between uniform distribution and the ubiquity property. Namely, we show that a bound on the discrepancy of the sequence implies the ubiquity property, which helps to obtain divergence results. We further obtain Hausdorff dimension results for weighted sets. The key tools in proving these results are the weighted ubiquitous systems and weighted mass transference principle introduced recently by Kleinbock and Wang, and Wang and Wu, respectively.
