Winning and nullity of inhomogeneous bad

TL;DR
This work establishes that inhomogeneous weighted badly approximable vectors form a Hyperplane Absolute Winning set, extending the BNY21 framework to inhomogeneous data through a Cantor-game strategy that localizes the inhomogeneous function and leverages α-Ahlfors regular absolutely decaying measures. It then derives a measure-zero nullity result: for any nondegenerate curve or nondegenerate analytic manifold, almost every point is not in $Bad_theta(w)$ for any weight, achieved via duality and quantitative nondivergence from homogeneous dynamics. The methods combine Cantor-game techniques with dual-lattice and nondivergence controls to handle inhomogeneous constraints and higher-dimensional manifolds, highlighting a robust largeness-nullity dichotomy and suggesting avenues for dual-analytic extensions in Diophantine approximation.
Abstract
We prove the hyperplane absolute winning property of weighted inhomogeneous badly approximable vectors in $\mathbb{R}^d$. This answers a question by Beresnevich--Nesharim--Yang and extends the main result of [Geometric and Functional Analysis, 31 (1), 1-33, 2021] to the inhomogeneous set-up. We also show for any nondegenerate curve and nondegenerate analytic manifold that almost every point is not weighted inhomogeneous badly approximable for any weight. This is achieved by duality and the quantitative nondivergence estimates from homogeneous dynamics motivated by [Acta Math. 231 (2023), 1-30], together with the methods from [arXiv:2307.10109].
