Khintchine’s Theorem - one hundred years on!
Khintchine’s Theorem (1924) on rational approximations to real numbers
is one of the most beautiful applications of the Borel-Cantelli lemma outside of probability theory. In this talk I will discuss problems and progress concerning inhomogeneous generalisations of this classical result, including the Duffin-Schaeffer Conjecture in the inhomogeneous setting. This is a joint work with Manuel Hauke and Sanju Velani.
