Abstract
We prove that singular vectors have measure zero with respect to any friendly measure on (e.g. the volume measure on a nondegenerate submanifold). This generalizes special cases considered by Davenport-Schmidt, Baker and Bugeaud. The main tool is quantitative nondivergence estimates for quasi-polynomial flows on homogeneous spaces.

The measure-zero theorem for weighted singular vectors and the existence theorem on analytic manifolds are correct; one auxiliary lemma needs only a harmless small-parameter range correction.
The two main singular-vector results are correct
Pages 2–4 · Theorems 1.1–1.2 · arXiv:math/0506513v1
Friendliness gives the quantitative non-divergence estimate needed to show that weighted singular points have measure zero. For a connected analytic manifold of dimension at least two outside every rational affine subspace, the topological construction produces a totally irrational point with the required weighted singularity.
Full paper, version 1 ↗The displayed comparison should be restricted to small epsilon
Pages 5–6 · correspondence lemma · arXiv:math/0506513v1
One implication sets a new parameter equal to a positive power of epsilon and then uses that this new parameter is smaller than epsilon. This is guaranteed for epsilon between zero and one, which is the only regime used to test divergence. Adding that range to the lemma repairs the printed statement and changes no main result.
02Proofs2 reported findingsCorrect
The quantitative non-divergence and topological constructions are correct and complete after the local range correction.
Friendly-measure estimates give the required null set
Pages 6–10 · proof of Theorem 1.1 · arXiv:math/0506513v1
Federer control and absolute decay imply goodness for the linear functions attached to primitive subgroups. Quantitative non-divergence then gives a summable sequence of exceptional sets, and the unbounded time set is handled with the stated discretization.
The nested construction enforces singularity and total irrationality
Pages 10–15 · proof of Theorem 1.2 · arXiv:math/0506513v1
The construction alternates prescribed rational relations with avoidance of every previously enumerated rational hyperplane. Analyticity prevents local containment from appearing unexpectedly, and the shrinking neighborhoods yield a point satisfying all required approximation scales.
