Badly approximable systems of linear forms over a field of formal series
Journal de théorie des nombres de Bordeaux, Volume 18 (2006) no. 2, pp. 421-444.

We prove that the Hausdorff dimension of the set of badly approximable systems of m linear forms in n variables over the field of Laurent series with coefficients from a finite field is maximal. This is an analogue of Schmidt’s multi-dimensional generalisation of Jarník’s Theorem on badly approximable numbers.

Nous montrons que la dimension de Hausdorff de l’ensemble des systèmes mal approchables de m formes linéaires en n variables sur le corps des séries de Laurent à coefficients dans un corps fini est maximale. Ce résultat est un analogue de la généralisation multidimensionnelle de Schmidt du théorème de Jarník sur les nombres mal approchables.
