Non-winning Bad Subsets

speaker: Dorsa Hatefi (University of York)

abstract: It is well known that the set of badly approximable numbers (real numbers with bounded continued fraction elements), which we denote as Bad, has zero Lebesgue measure yet full Hausdorff dimen- sion(Jarnik 1928). In fact, it fulfills the stronger property of being a winning set in the sense of Schmidt’s Game(1966). It has also been shown that the set of inhomogeneously badly approximable numbers, Bad(γ) is full dimension(2015). We prove that Bad(γ) \ Bad, i.e. the inhomogeneous set independent of Bad is also full dimension. Since this set cannot be winning, this is done via introducing a variant of the Schmidt game which we call the rapid game, played on the space of unimodular grids.
