Dimitris Koukoulopoulos: Approximating reals by rationals
Abstract: Given any irrational number α, Dirichlet proved that there are infinitely many reduced fractions a/q such that |α − a/q| ≤ 1/q^2. A natural question that arises is whether the fractions a/q can get even closer to α. For certain ”quadratic irrationals” such as α = √2 the answer is

Alexander Gorodnik - Diophantine approximation and flows on homogeneous spaces (Part 3)
The fundamental problem in the theory of Diophantine approximation is to understand how well points in the Euclidean space can be approximated by rational vectors with given bounds on denominators. It turns out that Diophantine properties of points can be encoded using flows on homogeneous
