Simultaneous diophantine approximation in the real and p-adic fields with nonmonotonic error function*

Abstract

In this paper, we show that if the volume sum \( \sum\nolimits_{h = 1}^\infty {{h^{n - 1}}{\Psi^t}(h)} \) converges for a function ψ (not necessarily monotonic), then the set of points \( \left( {x,{w_1}, \ldots, {w_{t - 1}}} \right) \in {\mathbb R} \times {{\mathbb Q}_{{p_1}}} \times \ldots \times {{\mathbb Q}_{{p_{t - 1}}}} \) that simultaneously satisfy the inequalities \( \left| {P(x)} \right| < \Psi (H) {\text{and}} {\left| {P\left( {{w_i}} \right)} \right|_{{p_i}}} < \Phi (H), 1 \leqslant i \leqslant t - 1 \), for infinitely many integer polynomials P has measure zero.
