Weighted approximation for limsup sets

Theorems of Khintchine, Groshev, Jarn\'ik, and Besicovitch in Diophantine approximation are fundamental results on the metric properties of $\Psi$-well approximable sets. These foundational results have since been generalised to the framework of weighted Diophantine approximation for systems of real linear forms (matrices). In this article, we prove analogues of these weighted results in a range of settings including the $p$-adics (Theorems 7 and 8), complex numbers (Theorems 9 and 10), quaternions (Theorems 11 and 12), and formal power series (Theorems 13 and 14). We also consider approximation by uniformly distributed sequences. Under some assumptions on the approximation functions, we prove a 0-1 dichotomy law (Theorem 15). We obtain divergence results for any approximation function under some natural restrictions on the discrepancy (Theorems 16, 17, and 19). The key tools in proving the main parts of these results are the weighted ubiquitous systems and weighted mass transference principle introduced recently by Kleinbock and Wang [Adv. Math. 428 (2023), Paper No. 109154], and Wang and Wu [Math. Ann. 381 (2021), no. 1-2, 243--317] respectively.Comment: 73 pages, comments welcom
