Mumford's Degree of Contact and Diophantine Approximations
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 04 December 2007
Abstract
The purpose of this note is to present a somewhat unexpected relation between diophantine approximations and the geometric invariant theory. The link is given by Mumford's degree of contact. We show that destabilizing flags of Chow-unstable projective varieties provide systems of diophantine approximations which are better than those given by Schmidt's subspace theorem, and we give examples of these systems.
