Random Duffin–Schaeffer conjecture

From papers

Let f:NN0f:\mathbb{N}\to\mathbb{N}_0 satisfy 0f(n)n0\leqslant f(n)\leqslant n, let Ωf\Omega_f be the associated random space of numerator sets, and let WP(Ψ)W^P(\Psi) denote the set of numbers approximable by the fractions whose numerators belong to the random choice PΩfP\in\Omega_f. In the case f=φf=\varphi, write Pφ\mathbb{P}_\varphi for the corresponding probability measure. Random Duffin–Schaeffer conjecture. For Pφ\mathbb{P}_\varphi-almost every PP, the random Khintchine property holds without the monotonicity assumption: WP(Ψ)W^P(\Psi) has full measure when the associated sum in property (rkt) diverges and measure zero when it converges. This is the generic random analogue of the Duffin–Schaeffer conjecture; the paper notes that it has no obvious implication relationship with the classical conjecture, although it would imply Catlin's conjecture.
