On the $P(t)$-adic Littlewood conjecture in odd characteristics

Abstract

The $P(t)$-adic Littlewood conjecture is a function field analogue of the famous $p$-adic Littlewood conjecture in Diophantine approximation. In this paper, we prove that the $P(t)$-adic Littlewood conjecture fails for any irreducible polynomial $P(t)$ over any ground field of odd characteristic.
