On Some Properties of Irrational Subspaces

A statement-restricted graph for the winning, hyperplane-absolute-winning, exponent-bound, and best-approximation claims in the published paper. Historical and metric-context citations that do not enter those proofs are excluded.

Dependence map

Arrows point from a prerequisite toward the paper whose marked statement uses it.

  • Solid arrow: headline proof lineage
  • Dashed arrow: a separately marked side or appendix claim
  • Dashed square: a terminal book

Hover over, or focus, a square to see its full citation.

Every visible arrow is documented in the evidence ledger below. A non-book leaf means that no earlier proof-critical source was identified for the marked statement—not that the paper has no other citations.

Diophantine ApproximationOn Some Properties of Irrational SubspacesHeadline lineageTerminal source

The focal proof iterates Schmidt's escaping lemma on the algebraic bad sets and then uses the permanence and full-dimension properties of winning sets.

Citation location: Focal §1.3 and proof of Theorem 2.1
  • Theorem 2.1 and Corollary 2.2Winning completely irrational subspaces and the existence/full-dimension conclusion after intersection with badly approximable systems.

The focal HAW argument uses the game's countable-intersection property and its relation to the original Schmidt game exactly as established by Broderick–Fishman–Kleinbock–Reich–Weiss.

Citation location: Focal §1.2 and proof of Theorem 2.3
  • Theorem 2.3Hyperplane-absolute-winning versions of the completely irrational and badly approximable completely irrational sets.

Schmidt's winning theorem for badly approximable systems is intersected with the focal paper's winning set of completely irrational subspaces.

Citation location: Focal Proposition 1.8 and Corollary after Theorem 2.1
  • Theorem 2.1 and Corollary 2.2Winning completely irrational subspaces and the existence/full-dimension conclusion after intersection with badly approximable systems.

The focal paper imports the ordinary-exponent upper bound for vectors in a badly approximable subspace, then combines it with the dimension-sensitive ratio inequality.

Citation location: Focal Proposition 3.1 and proof of Theorem 3.4
  • Theorem 3.4The uniform-exponent upper bound for every vector in a badly approximable completely irrational subspace.

The 1969 construction uses the game and permanence machinery introduced in Schmidt's 1966 paper to establish the winning result for systems of linear forms.

Citation location: Schmidt 1969 game construction; Schmidt 1966
  • Winning theorem for badly approximable systemsShows that the parameter set of badly approximable systems of linear forms is winning.

The proof of the HAW theorem restates Schmidt's Lemmas 1 and 2 as Propositions 5.1 and 5.2. Their dimension bounds for the relevant integral solution spaces are the input used to place every dangerous family inside a single deletable hyperplane.

Citation location: Broderick–Fishman–Simmons §5, Propositions 5.1–5.2, and §6; Schmidt 1969, Lemmas 1–2
  • HAW theorem for badly approximable systemsUpgrades the relevant set of systems of linear forms to hyperplane absolute winning.
Diophantine Approximation and Diophantine EquationsAn optimal bound for the ratio between ordinary and uniform exponents of Diophantine approximationHeadline lineageTerminal source

Schmidt's inequality on heights is applied inductively to selected rational subspaces throughout the proof of the optimal ratio theorem.

Citation location: Marnat–Moshchevitin §4 and proof of the main theorem
  • Main ratio theoremGives the sharp lower bound for the ratio of ordinary to uniform Diophantine exponents.

The second part of Proposition 5.1 invokes the optimal ordinary/uniform ratio theorem to convert the ordinary-exponent bound into a uniform-exponent bound.

Citation location: Kleinbock–Moshchevitin–Weiss arXiv:1912.13070v2, §5, Proposition 5.1
  • Proposition 5.1Bounds the ordinary exponent of vectors lying in a badly approximable subspace and combines it with the uniform/ordinary ratio estimate.

Schleischitz records the Marnat–Moshchevitin theorem as Theorem 2.1 and then formulates the rational-dimension consequence used by the focal paper in Theorem 2.4, equation (6).

Citation location: Schleischitz arXiv:1904.06121v4, §2.1, Theorems 2.1 and 2.4
  • Theorem 2.4, equation (6), rational-dimension specializationRecords the ratio bound in the dimension-sensitive form used for vectors that are not necessarily totally irrational.
