摘要
Continued fractions are a cornerstone of Diophantine approximation, with their higher-dimensional generalizations playing a significant role in homogeneous dynamics and number theory. This talk presents a geometric approach to such generalizations via the construction of a natural Poincaré section. I will then compare the properties of continued fractions and best approximations, highlighting their similarities and differences. Finally, I will discuss some ongoing joint work with Anurag Rao and Nikolay Moshchevitin, inspired by the work of Cheung and Chevallier.
