On Littlewood鈥檚 conjecture in Diophantine approximation

-
Evgeni Dimitrov, Princeton University

The purpose of my talk will be to present some of the results that have been established for Littlewood鈥檚 conjecture. In the first part of the discussion I will give an expository overview of what is currently known about the conjecture and what are some of the questions that naturally arise from it. In the second part I will present in more detail the seminal work of Andrew Pollington and Sanju Velani from their 2001 paper: 鈥淥n a problem in simultaneous Diophantine approximation: Littlewood鈥檚 conjecture.鈥
