Rational Points in Hyperbolic Regions and Multiplicative Diophantine Approximation on Manifolds

Abstract

We establish the convergence theory of multiplicative Diophantine approximation for all non-degenerate, smooth manifolds. We also settle said convergence theory for all affine subspaces satisfying a highly generic and essentially optimal Diophantine condition. This answers a question of Beresnevich and Velani from 2005, while simultaneously sharpening results of Kleinbock and Margulis on the strong extremality of non-degenerate manifolds, and of Kleinbock on the strong extremality of affine subspaces.
