Concentration of dimension in extremal points of left-half lines in the Lagrange spectrum

Abstract

We prove that for any $\eta$ that belongs to the closure of the interior of the Markov and Lagrange spectra, the sets $k^{-1}((-\infty ,\eta ])$ and $k^{-1}(\eta )$, which are the sets of irrational numbers with best constant of Diophantine approximation bounded by $\eta$ and exactly $\eta$ respectively, have the same Hausdorff dimension. We also show that, as $\eta$ varies in the interior of the spectra, this Hausdorff dimension is a strictly increasing function.
