Abstract

In 1962, Gallagher proved an higher dimensional version of Khintchine's theorem on Diophantine approximation. Gallagher's theorem states that for any non-increasing approximation function ψ:N(0,1/2)\psi:\mathbb{N}\to (0,1/2) with q=1ψ(q)logq=\sum_{q=1}^{\infty} \psi(q)\log q=\infty and γ=γ=0\gamma=\gamma'=0 the following set {(x,y)[0,1]2:qxγqyγ<ψ(q) infinitely often} \{(x,y)\in [0,1]^2: \|qx-\gamma\|\|qy-\gamma'\|<\psi(q) \text{ infinitely often}\} has full Lebesgue measure. Recently, Chow and Technau proved a fully inhomogeneous version (without restrictions on γ,γ\gamma,\gamma') of the above result. In this paper, we prove an Erd\H{o}s-Vaaler type result for fibred multiplicative Diophantine approximation. Along the way, via a different method, we prove a slightly weaker version of Chow-Technau's theorem with the condition that at least one of γ,γ\gamma,\gamma' is not Liouville. We also extend Chow-Technau's result for fibred inhomogeneous Gallagher's theorem for Liouville fibres.
