Singular Vectors in Real Affine Subspaces

We prove inheritance of measure zero property of the set of singular vectors for affine subspaces and submanifolds inside those affine subspaces. We define a notion of $n$-singularity for matrices, which is closely related to the uniform exponent of irrationality. For certain affine subspaces, we show that the set of singular vectors has measure zero if and only if the parametrizing matrix is not $n$-singular. In particular, we show for affine hyperplanes the set of singular vectors has measure zero if and only if the parametrizing matrix is not rational.
