The non-Liouville inhomogeneous multiplicative approximation conjecture

Let ψ\psi be an approximation function, and let \\|\cdot\\| denote distance to the nearest integer. For real numbers β,γ,γ\beta,\gamma,\gamma' and (x,y)[0,1]2(x,y)\in[0,1]^2, write W(ψ,β,γ,γ)W(\psi,\beta,\gamma,\gamma') for the set of pairs satisfying the corresponding inhomogeneous multiplicative approximation inequality for infinitely many integers qq.

Non-Liouville inhomogeneous multiplicative approximation conjecture. If

q=1ψ(q)logq=\sum_{q=1}^{\infty} \psi(q)\log q=\infty

and ψ(q)=O(q1(logq)2)\psi(q)=O\bigl(q^{-1}(\log q)^{-2}\bigr), then for every non-Liouville number γ\gamma and every real number γ\gamma', Lebesgue almost every (x,y)[0,1]2(x,y)\in[0,1]^2 belongs to W(ψ,β,γ,γ)W(\psi,\beta,\gamma,\gamma').

The source presents this as a stronger result under a non-Liouville hypothesis, while noting that the corresponding unrestricted statement is already solved. The conjecture itself remains open even under the displayed stronger decay requirement.
