Khintchine's theorem on fibers

Let W(2,ψ)W(2,\psi) denote the set of simultaneously ψ\psi-well-approximable points in R2\mathbb{R}^2, let Lα{\rm L}_\alpha be the vertical line through (α,0)(\alpha,0), and let m1m_1 be one-dimensional Lebesgue measure on that line.

Fiber Khintchine conjecture. If ψ ⁣:NR+\psi\colon\mathbb{N}\to\mathbb{R}^+ is monotonic and αR\alpha\in\mathbb{R}, then

m1(W(2,ψ)Lα)=1m_1(W(2,\psi)\cap{\rm L}_\alpha)=1

whenever

q=1ψ(q)2=.\sum_{q=1}^\infty\psi(q)^2=\infty.

The source explains that the convergent counterpart fails for rational fibers, while this divergent statement is claimed there and is a fiberwise strengthening of Khintchine's theorem.
