Inhomogeneous Diophantine approximation over fields of formal power series

Abstract

We prove a sharp analogue of Minkowski's inhomogeneous approximation theorem over fields of power series $\mathbb{F}_q((T^{-1}))$. Furthermore, we study the approximation to a given point $\underline{y}$ in $\mathbb{F}_q((T^{-1}))^2$ by the $SL_2(\mathbb{F}_q[T])$-orbit of a given point $\underline{x}$ in $\mathbb{F}_q((T^{-1}))^2$.
