Abstract
We prove that the inhomogeneous variant of Khintchine's Theorem holds in dimension without any monotonicity assumption. This resolves the last remaining case in the metric theory of inhomogeneous Diophantine approximation: while the monotonicity assumption is known to be unnecessary in dimensions and necessary in dimension , the two-dimensional case has remained open. It also settles the final outstanding case of a Khintchine--Groshev-type theorem for the approximation of systems of linear forms, confirming a conjecture of the first and third authors. Our results bring the inhomogeneous theory of metric Diophantine approximation into alignment with its homogeneous counterpart.
