Uniform Diophantine approximation on the plane for $\beta$-dynamical systems

Abstract

In this paper, we investigate the two-dimensional uniform Diophantine approximation in $\beta$-dynamical systems. Let $\beta_i > 1(i=1,2)$ be real numbers, and let $T_{\beta_i}$ denote the $\beta_i$-transformation defined on $[0, 1]$. For each $(x, y) \in[0,1]^2$, we define the asymptotic approximation exponent $$ v_{\beta_1, \beta_2}(x, y)=\sup \left\{0 \leq v<\infty: \begin{array}{l} T_{\beta_1}^n x<\beta_1^{-n v} \\ T_{\beta_2}^n y<\beta_2^{-n v} \end{array} \text { for infinitely many } n \in \mathbb{N}\right\} \text {, } $$ and the uniform approximation exponent $$ \hat{v}_{\beta_1, \beta_2}(x, y)=\sup \left\{0 \leq \hat{v}<\infty: \forall~ N \gg 1, \exists 1 \leq n \leq N \text { such that } \begin{array}{l} T_{\beta_1}^n x < \beta_1^{-N \hat{v}} \\ T_{\beta_2}^n y < \beta_2^{-N \hat{v}} \end{array}\right\} . $$ We calculate the Hausdorff dimension of the intersection $$\left\{(x, y) \in[0,1]^2: \hat{v}_{\beta_1, \beta_2}(x, y)=\hat{v} \text { and } v_{\beta_1, \beta_2}(x, y)=v\right\}$$ for any $\hat{v}$ and $v$ satisfying $\log _{\beta_2}{\beta_1}>\frac{\hat{v}}{v}(1+v)$. As a corollary, we establish a definite formula for the Hausdorff dimension of the level set of the uniform approximation exponent.
