Proof-critical dependence graph

Twisted Diophantine Approximation II: Uniform Theory

A statement-restricted recursive graph for the proof-critical inputs behind the pressure formula, the no-dimension-drop theorem, the Hausdorff-measure zero-full law, the sharp escape-of-mass construction, and the transference applications. Contextual comparisons, historical attributions, and results merely recovered by the focal paper are excluded. Books are terminal sources.

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.

Geometry of Numbers→Successive Minima and Lattice PointsHeadline lineageSource-chain endpoint

Henk imports the elementary lattice normalization, basis-extension, finite-index, and successive-minima span facts before the substantive internal counting argument.

Citation location: Henk Section 2 opening paragraph and equations (2.1)–(2.2), citation [GL87].
  • Lemma 2.1 and Theorem 1.5Supply the fixed-dilation comparison and the successive-minima upper lattice-count product used in companion-paper Lemma 5.1.

The focal paper cites companion Lemma 5.1 for both fixed-dilation stability of the lattice count and its comparison with the product of active successive minima. These are exactly the inputs used to prove the profile count and every subsequent transition estimate.

Citation location: Focal Lemmas 4.1–4.2, PDF pp. 22–23; companion Lemma 5.1, PDF pp. 14–15
  • Lemmas 4.1–4.2The translated-box and successive-minima lattice counts that turn the homogeneous profile into the branching estimates used throughout the covering constructions.

Henk Lemma 2.1 gives the coset-count comparison used for a fixed dilation, while Theorem 1.5 gives the upper product bound in terms of successive minima. The companion paper supplies the matching lower bound internally by integer combinations of minimizing vectors.

Citation location: Companion Lemma 5.1; Henk Lemma 2.1 and Theorem 1.5
  • Lemma 5.1Compares a lattice count in a centrally symmetric box with the product of the active successive-minima factors, uniformly under a fixed dilation.

The focal lower construction assigns equal mass down its nested tree and proves the required ball-decay estimate. The Mass Distribution Principle then converts that estimate into the lower Hausdorff-dimension bound used in the pressure theorem and no-drop argument.

Citation location: Focal Lemma 4.8 and Lemma 4.9, PDF pp. 27–30; source Annals p. 975
  • Theorem 1.2The pressure formula for the lower and upper endpoint dimensions, the no-dimension-drop identity for the singular intersection, and the criterion for invariance under constant rescaling.

The focal sharpness proof constructs an explicit template with prescribed active-time density and invokes the realization theorem to obtain a matrix whose minima track it within bounded error. The resulting pressure and escape proportions give equality in the improved bound.

  • Propositions 2.4–2.5 and 2.7The improved critical escape-of-mass bound, its sharpness for every escape proportion, and the all-power upper bound from rank counts.

Once the finite measure induced on a positive-measure invariant set is invariant under the dense subgroup ΓA\Gamma_A, closedness of its stabilizer extends invariance to HAH_A. Uniqueness of Haar measure then yields the locally full alternative.

The Closed Subgroup Theorem supplies the compact Lie-group structure of HAH_A used to compare Hausdorff and Haar measures and to formulate local fullness in the correct intrinsic dimension.

Measure Theory→Twisted Diophantine Approximation II: Uniform TheoryHeadline lineageSource-chain endpoint

For every nonzero integer vector pk\mathbf p_k, the character b↦pk⋅b\mathbf b\mapsto\mathbf p_k\cdot\mathbf b is onto the circle. The Haar pushforward theorem therefore gives the exact 2dδ2d\delta measure of each strip in the focal liminf estimate.

  • Propositions 2.8–2.10The transference nullity and full-space criteria and the exact characterization of trivial shifts, including restricted positive denominators.

The focal proof imports Lemma I with the constant κd=21−d(d!)2\kappa_d=2^{1-d}(d!)^2. Applied at dual scales, it supplies a denominator for every shift and proves the full-space conclusion; the positive-denominator extension is then obtained internally by adding a fixed positive vector.

Moshchevitin--Neckrasov explicitly recall Bugeaud--Laurent Lemma 3 as Lemma I. The dimensions, norms, and constant agree with the normalization imported by the focal paper.

Bugeaud--Laurent reproduce the scale checks for Lemma 3 but invoke Part B of Cassels' Theorem XVII for the decisive inhomogeneous existence assertion.
