Diophantine approximation primarily deals with how closely real
numbers can be approximated by rationals. In this talk, I will observe
the limit points of these approximations under different
normalisations.
In particular, if the real vector together with 1 form a basis for a
number field, under the correct normalisation, the set of limit points
of the approximations of that vector exhibit well ordered geometric
structures. For example when the approximating vector is from a cubic
number field, these approximations are countable union of ellipses or
pair of hyperbolas depending on whether or not, the number field can
be embedded into complex numbers in a non-trivial way.
