Khintchine's conjecture for non-degenerate manifolds

Let MRn\mathcal{M}\subset\mathbb{R}^n be a dd-dimensional non-degenerate submanifold, let μd\mu_d be the normalised dd-dimensional Lebesgue measure induced on M\mathcal{M}, and let ψ\psi be an approximating function. Let Wn(ψ)W_n(\psi) denote the set of simultaneously ψ\psi-approximable points in Rn\mathbb{R}^n. Khintchine's manifold conjecture.

μd(MWn(ψ))={1,if q=1ψ(q)n=,0,if q=1ψ(q)n<.\mu_d(\mathcal{M}\cap W_n(\psi))=\begin{cases}1,&\text{if }\displaystyle\sum_{q=1}^{\infty}\psi(q)^n=\infty,\\[2ex]0,&\text{if }\displaystyle\sum_{q=1}^{\infty}\psi(q)^n<\infty.\end{cases}

The source describes this as widely believed and as the expected analogue of Khintchine's theorem for non-degenerate manifolds; it presents background and partial results rather than a general proof.
