Irrationality-exponent sets product-dimension bounds conjecture

For λ[2,]\lambda\in[2,\infty], let Wλ\mathscr{W}_\lambda denote the set of real numbers with the corresponding irrationality exponent, and let n1n\geq 1. The irrationality-exponent product-dimension conjecture. For any λ0,,λn1[2,]\lambda_0,\ldots,\lambda_{n-1}\in[2,\infty],

n1+2max0in1λidim(i=0n1Wλi)max{n1,  2i=1nλi1}.n-1+\frac{2}{\max_{0\leq i\leq n-1}\lambda_i}\geq\dim\left(\prod_{i=0}^{n-1}\mathscr{W}_{\lambda_i}\right)\geq\max\left\{n-1,\;2\sum_{i=1}^{n}\lambda_i^{-1}\right\}.

In particular, when all λi\lambda_i are sufficiently large compared with nn,

dim(i=0n1Wλi)>i=0n1dim(Wλi),\dim\left(\prod_{i=0}^{n-1}\mathscr{W}_{\lambda_i}\right)>\sum_{i=0}^{n-1}\dim(\mathscr{W}_{\lambda_i}),

and

limmaxλidim(i=0n1Wλi)=n1,\lim_{\max\lambda_i\to\infty}\dim\left(\prod_{i=0}^{n-1}\mathscr{W}_{\lambda_i}\right)=n-1,

with the limit understood as in the source theorem. The analogous bounds for restricted-rational sets are proved in the paper, while these unrestricted-rational assertions are formulated as a conjecture.
