The directional pp-adic Littlewood conjecture for vectors

Let α‾∈Rn\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 ℓ∞\ell^\infty distance to the nearest integer vector, and write ∥⋅∥∞\|\cdot\|_\infty for the ℓ∞\ell^\infty norm. The directional pp-adic Littlewood conjecture.

lim inf⁡k→∞(k∣k∣p)1/n∥⟨kα‾⟩∥∞=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.
