The Duffin-Schaeffer conjecture with a moving target
Abstract
We prove the inhomogeneous generalization of the Duffin-Schaeffer conjecture in dimension . That is, given and such that , we show that for almost every there are infinitely many rational vectors such that and such that each component of is coprime to . This is an inhomogeneous extension of a homogeneous conjecture of Sprind\v{z}uk which was itself proved in 1990 by Pollington and Vaughan. In fact, our main result generalizes Pollington-Vaughan not only to the inhomogeneous case, but also to the setting of moving targets, where the inhomogeneous parameter is free to vary with . In contrast, we show by an explicit construction that the (1-dimensional) inhomogeneous Duffin-Schaeffer conjecture fails to hold with a moving target, implying that any successful attack on the one-dimensional problem must use the fact that the inhomogeneous parameter is constant. We also introduce new questions regarding moving targets.
