The dimension of well approximable numbers

Key Points

Diophantine approximation reveals important properties of well approximable numbers, connecting them to geometric concepts.
Key developments include the Mass Transference Principle and the study of well approximable numbers on manifolds and fractals.
Theoretical exploration utilizes results from Besicovitch regarding Hausdorff dimension to highlight these connections.
Emerging themes suggest profound implications for both number theory and fractals, underscoring rich open questions for further research.

Abstract

In this survey article, we explore a central theme in Diophantine approximation inspired by a celebrated result of Besicovitch on the Hausdorff dimension of well approximable real numbers. We outline some of the key developments stemming from Besicovitch's result, with a focus on the Mass Transference Principle, Ubiquity and Diophantine approximation on manifolds and fractals. We highlight the subtle yet profound connections between number theory and fractal geometry, and discuss several open problems at their intersection.
