Erdős Problem #998 — Bounded-remainder intervals for irrational rotations

About 62 years old · traced to

Let αα be irrational. If the number of 1≤m≤n1≤m≤n whose fractional part mαmα lies in [u,v)[u,v) equals n(v−u)+O(1)n(v-u)+O(1), must uu and vv each be fractional parts of integer multiples of αα?
