Streszczenie
Thanks to recent advances in parametric geometry of numbers, we know that the spectrum of any set of $m$ exponents of Diophantine approximation to points in $\mathbb R ^n$ (in a general abstract setting) is a compact connected subset of $\mathbb R ^m$. Moreover, this set is semialgebraic and closed under coordinatewise minimum for $n\le 3$. In this paper, we give examples showing that for $n\ge 4$ each of the latter properties may fail.
