The directional pp-adic Littlewood conjecture for vectors

From papers

Let αRn\overline{\alpha}\in\mathbb{R}^n be a vector and let pp be a prime. Denote by :Rn[0,1)n\langle\cdot\rangle:\mathbb{R}^n\to[0,1)^n the \ell^\infty distance to the nearest integer vector, and write \|\cdot\|_\infty for the \ell^\infty norm. The directional pp-adic Littlewood conjecture.

lim infk(kkp)1/nkα=0.\liminf_{k\to\infty}(k|k|_p)^{1/n}\left\|\langle k\overline{\alpha}\rangle\right\|_\infty=0.

This is proposed as a natural vector-valued extension of the one-dimensional pp-adic Littlewood conjecture. The source says that it lacks a reference in the literature and provides no resolution, so it remains open.
