"Rational points near manifold and Diophantine approximation"
It
is
well
known
that
sharp
estimates
on
the
number
of
rational
points
near
manifold
can
lead
to
solutions
of
some
long
standing
conjectures
on
metric
Diophantine
approximation.
The
former
question
which
is
very
interesting
in
its
own
right,
is
nevertheless
rather
hard.
During
the
last
decade
or
so
there
has
been
some
remarkable
breakthrough
on
this
difficult
problem.
In
this
talk
we
will
discuss
some
related
topics.
