Lüroth Expansions in Diophantine Approximation: Metric Properties and Conjectures

Abstract

This paper focuses on the metric properties of Lüroth well approximable numbers, studying analogous of classical results, namely the Khintchine Theorem, the Jarník--Besicovitch Theorem, and the result of Dodson. A supplementary proof is provided for a measure-theoretic statement originally proposed by Tan--Zhou. The Beresnevich--Velani Mass Transference Principle is applied to extend a dimensional result of Cao--Wu--Zhang. A counterexample is constructed, leading to a revision of a conjecture by Tan--Zhou concerning dimension, along with a partial result.
