Allen–Ramírez conjecture for the inhomogeneous Khintchine–Groshev theorem

For positive integers n,mn,m, a function ψ:NR0\psi: \mathbb{N} \to \mathbb{R}_{\geq 0}, and an inhomogeneous parameter yRm\mathbf{y} \in \mathbb{R}^m, let An,my(ψ)\mathscr{A}^\mathbf{y}_{n,m}(\psi) be the set of x[0,1)nm\mathbf{x} \in [0,1)^{nm} such that

qxpy<ψ(q)|\mathbf{qx} - \mathbf{p} - \mathbf{y}| < \psi(|\mathbf{q}|)

for infinitely many (q,p)(Zn0)×Zm(\mathbf{q}, \mathbf{p}) \in (\mathbb{Z}^n \setminus \\{\mathbf{0}\\}) \times \mathbb{Z}^m, where x\mathbf{x} is an n×mn \times m matrix and |\cdot| is the maximum norm. Let |\cdot| also denote Lebesgue measure. Allen–Ramírez conjecture. If (n,m)=(1,2)(n,m)=(1,2) or (2,1)(2,1), then

An,my(ψ)={0if q=1qn1ψ(q)m<,1if q=1qn1ψ(q)m=.|\mathscr{A}_{n,m}^\mathbf{y}(\psi)|=\begin{cases}0 & \text{if } \displaystyle\sum_{q=1}^{\infty}q^{n-1}\psi(q)^m<\infty,\\\\1 & \text{if } \displaystyle\sum_{q=1}^{\infty}q^{n-1}\psi(q)^m=\infty. \end{cases}

Thus the divergence conclusion should hold without assuming that ψ\psi is monotonic. Allen and Ramírez proved the corresponding inhomogeneous theorem for nm3nm\geq 3, while monotonicity is known to be necessary in the (1,1)(1,1) case; the nm=2nm=2 cases remain open in the supplied source.
