Sprindžuk's higher-dimensional Duffin–Schaeffer conjecture

At least 2 years old · documented by

Let k∈Nk\in\mathbb{N} and let ψ:N→R≥0\psi:\mathbb{N}\to\mathbb{R}_{\geq 0}. Define Ak”(ψ)⊂[0,1]k\mathcal{A}_k”(\psi)\subset[0,1]^k to be the set of points xx for which ∣qx−p∣<ψ(q)\\|qx-\mathbf p\\|<\psi(q) for infinitely many (p,q)=(p1,…,pk,q)∈Zk×N(\mathbf p,q)=(p_1,\dots,p_k,q)\in\mathbb{Z}^k\times\mathbb{N} with gcd⁡(pi,q)=1\gcd(p_i,q)=1 for every 1≤i≤k1\leq i\leq k, where ∣⋅∣\\|\cdot\\| is the supremum norm. Let φ\varphi be Euler's totient function. Sprindžuk's higher-dimensional Duffin–Schaeffer conjecture. For every approximating function ψ:N→R≥0\psi:\mathbb{N}\to\mathbb{R}_{\geq 0},

L(Ak”(ψ))={0if ∑q=1∞(φ(q)ψ(q)q)k<∞,1if ∑q=1∞(φ(q)ψ(q)q)k=∞.\mathcal{L}(\mathcal{A}_k”(\psi))=\begin{cases}0&\text{if }\displaystyle\sum_{q=1}^{\infty}\left(\frac{\varphi(q)\psi(q)}q\right)^k<\infty,\\\\[2ex]1&\text{if }\displaystyle\sum_{q=1}^{\infty}\left(\frac{\varphi(q)\psi(q)}q\right)^k=\infty. \end{cases}

For k≥2k\geq2 this was verified by Pollington and Vaughan, while the case k=1k=1 is the Duffin–Schaeffer conjecture; together these results give a full resolution.
