It is well-known and is easy to prove that almost every α in R is diophantine. In this paper we address a noncommutative version of the diophantine properties. Consider a pair A,B∈SO(3) and for each n∈Z+ take all possible words in A, A -1, B, and B - 1 of length n, i.e. for a multiindex I=(i1,i1,…,im,jm) define |I|=∑mk=1(|ik|+|jk|)=n and \\( W_n(A,B ) = \\{W_{\\cal I}(A,B) = A^{i_1} B^{j_1} \\dots A^{i_m} B^{j_m}\\}_{|{\\cal I|}=n \\).¶Gamburd—Jakobson—Sarnak [GJS] raised the problem: prove that for Haar almost every pair A,B∈SO(3) the closest distance of words of length n to the identity, i.e. sA,B(n)=min|I|=n∥WI(A,B)−E∥, is bounded from below by an exponential function in n. This is the analog of the diophantine property for elements of SO(3). In this paper we prove that s A,B (n) is bounded from below by an exponential function in n 2. We also exhibit obstructions to a “simple” proof of the exponential estimate in n."}],"article_type":"original","language":[{"iso":"eng"}],"intvolume":" 11","oa_version":"None","title":"Diophantine properties of elements of SO(3)","article_processing_charge":"No","doi":"10.1007/s00039-001-8222-8","type":"journal_article","citation":{"ama":"Kaloshin V, Rodnianski I.
