Abstract
For any i,j≥0 with i+j=1 , let Bad(i,j) denote the set of points (x,y)∈R 2 for which max{∥qx∥ 1/i ,∥qy∥ 1/j }>c/q for all q∈N . Here c=c(x,y) is a positive constant. Our main result implies that any finite intersection of such sets has full dimension. This settles a conjecture of Wolfgang M. Schmidt in the theory of simultaneous Diophantine approximation.
