Title: \psi-badly approximable points
Abstract: In this talk I will discuss recent work with Henna Koivusalo, Jason Levesley, and Xintian Zhang on the set of \psi-badly approximable points. \psi-badly approximable points are those which are \psi-well approximable, but at the same time not c\psi-well approximable for arbitrary small constant c>0. In 2003, Bugeaud proved in the one dimensional setting that the Hausdorff dimension of \psi-badly approximable points is the same as the Hausdorff dimension of \psi-well approximable points. Our main result provides an n-dimensional analogue of Bugeaud's result. In order to do this we construct a Cantor set that simultaneously captures the well approximable and badly approximable nature of \psi-badly approximable points.
