The one-dimensional Diophantine condition conjecture for inhomogeneous approximation

From papers

Let ψ\psi be a monotonic approximation function, let σβ\sigma_\beta denote the Diophantine-type function associated with an irrational number β\beta, and let W(ψ,β,γ,γ)W(\psi,\beta,\gamma,\gamma') be the set of pairs satisfying the associated inhomogeneous multiplicative approximation inequality for infinitely many integers qq.

One-dimensional Diophantine condition conjecture. Suppose that

q=1ψ(q)logq(loglogq)1/2=.\sum_{q=1}^{\infty} \psi(q)\frac{\log q}{(\log\log q)^{1/2}}=\infty.

If β\beta is irrational and

σβ(q)=O((loglogq)1/2),\sigma_\beta(q)=O\bigl((\log\log q)^{1/2}\bigr),

then, for all real numbers γ,γ\gamma,\gamma', one has

W(ψ,β,γ,γ)=1.\lvert W(\psi,\beta,\gamma,\gamma')\rvert=1.

The statement would reduce the joint Diophantine hypothesis on (γ,β)(\gamma,\beta) appearing in the preceding results to a condition on β\beta alone. The source states it as something the authors believe, rather than as an established theorem, and gives no resolution.
