Beresnevich–Haynes–Velani conjecture for coprime multiplicative approximation

Let ψ:N[0,1/2]\psi:\operatorname{\mathbb{N}}\to[0,1/2] be arbitrary, let k1k\geq1, and define

Dk×(ψ):={α[0,1]k:i=1kqαiψ(q) for infinitely many qN}.D_k^{\times}(\psi):=\left\{\alpha\in[0,1]^k:\prod_{i=1}^k\lVert q\alpha_i\rVert'\leq\psi(q)\text{ for infinitely many }q\in\operatorname{\mathbb{N}}\right\}.

Here qx:=mingcd(p,q)=1qxp\lVert qx\rVert':=\min_{\gcd(p,q)=1}|qx-p|, and φ\varphi denotes Euler's totient function.

Beresnevich–Haynes–Velani conjecture. One has

λk(Dk×(ψ))={1,if qN(φ(q)q)kψ(q)log(1/ψ(q))k1=,0,if qN(φ(q)q)kψ(q)log(1/ψ(q))k1<.\lambda_k\left(D_k^{\times}(\psi)\right)=\begin{cases}1,&\text{if }\sum_{q\in\operatorname{\mathbb{N}}}\left(\frac{\varphi(q)}q\right)^k\psi(q)\log(1/\psi(q))^{k-1}=\infty,\\0,&\text{if }\sum_{q\in\operatorname{\mathbb{N}}}\left(\frac{\varphi(q)}q\right)^k\psi(q)\log(1/\psi(q))^{k-1}<\infty. \end{cases}

The conjecture is posed for arbitrary ψ\psi; the supplied context identifies this as one of the open non-monotonic multiplicative approximation questions.
