Baker–Schmidt conjecture for the Hausdorff dimension of polynomial approximation sets

Let n2n\geqslant 2 be an integer, let 0<μ<n+130<\mu<\frac{n+1}3, and let w>n2μw>n-2\mu. Define

\mathcal{P}_n(\mu,w)=\Big\\{x\in[-\tfrac12,\tfrac12]:\left\\{\begin{array}{l} |P(x)| < H(P)^{-w-\mu}\\\\[1ex] |P'(x)| < H(P)^{1-\mu} \end{array} \right.\text{ holds for infinitely many }P\in\mathbb{Z}[x],\deg P\leqslant n\Big\\},

where H(P)H(P) is the absolute height of PP, and let dim\dim denote Hausdorff dimension. Baker–Schmidt conjecture. The lower bound

dimPn(μ,w)n+12μw+1\dim\mathcal{P}_n(\mu,w) \geqslant \frac{n+1-2\mu}{w+1}

is an equality. The case μ=0\mu=0 was proved by Bernik, while the stated generalisation remains open in the source.
