Abstract
For a fixed integer , we study the question whether at least one of the numbers , , is -close to an integer, for any possible value of , where is a primitive th root of unity. It turns out that there is always a for which the above numbers are concentrated around . The distance from depends only on the local properties of , rather than its magnitude. This is directly related the so-called "pyjama" problem which was solved recently.
