Inhomogeneous multiplicative Khintchine-type conjecture

Let α1,,αk1R\alpha_1,\ldots,\alpha_{k-1}\in\mathbb R. For nZn\in\mathbb Z, define n+=max(n,2)n^+=\max(|n|,2) and

ψ:Z2R0,ψ(n)=n1(logn)k.\psi:\mathbb Z_{\geqslant 2}\to\mathbb R_{\geqslant 0},\qquad \psi(n)=n^{-1}(\log n)^{-k}.

Inhomogeneous multiplicative Khintchine-type conjecture. Then for almost all αkR\alpha_k\in\mathbb R, there exist infinitely many (n1,,nk)Zk(n_1,\ldots,n_k)\in\mathbb Z^k such that

n1α1++nkαk<ψ(n1+nk+).\\|n_1\alpha_1+\cdots+n_k\alpha_k\\|<\psi(n_1^+\cdots n_k^+).

This is posed in the paper’s discussion of the dual problem and is therefore open in the supplied source.
