Diagonal approximation in completions of Q

Abstract

We prove analogues of some classical results from Diophantine approximation and metric number theory (namely Dirichlet's theorem and the Duffin--Schaeffer theorem) in the setting of diagonal Diophantine approximation, i.e. approximating elements of $\mathbb{R} \times \mathbb{Q}_{p_1} \times \cdots \times \mathbb{Q}_{p_r}$ by elements of the diagonal embedding of $\mathbb{Q}$ into this space.
