Given a nonnegative function $\psi : \N \to \R $, let $W(\psi)$ denote the set of real numbers $x$ such that $|nx -a| < \psi(n) $ for infinitely many reduced rationals $a/n (n>0) $. A consequence of our main result is that $W(\psi)$ is of…

For a non-negative function $\psi: ~ \N \mapsto \R$, let $W(\psi)$ denote the set of real numbers $x$ for which the inequality $|n x - a| < \psi(n)$ has infinitely many coprime solutions $(a,n)$. The Duffin--Schaeffer conjecture, one of the…

New results towards the Duffin-Schaeffer conjecture, which is a fundamental unsolved problem in metric number theory, have been established recently assuming extra divergence. Given a non-negative function $\psi: \mathbb{N}\to\mathbb{R}$ we…

We prove a quantitative version of the Duffin-Schaeffer conjecture with an almost sharp error term. Precisely, let $\psi:\mathbb{N}\to[0,1/2]$ be a function such that the series $\sum_{q=1}^\infty \varphi(q)\psi(q)/q$ diverges. In addition,…

The Duffin-Schaeffer conjecture is a central open problem in metric number theory. Let $\psi~\mathbb{N} \mapsto \mathbb{R}$ be a non-negative function, and set $\mathcal{E}_n :=\bigcup \left( \frac{a - \psi(n)}{n},\frac{a+\psi(n)}{n}…

For all $k\geq 2$, we provide almost-sharp quantitative results for the $k$-dimensional Duffin-Schaeffer conjecture, analogous to recent developments in the 1-D case of Koukoulopoulos-Maynard-Yang. In particular, for…

This paper discovers a new phenomenon about the Duffin-Schaeffer conjecture, which claims that $\lambda(\cap_{m=1}^{\infty}\cup_{n=m}^{\infty}{\mathcal E}_n)=1$ if and only if $\sum_n\lambda({\mathcal E}_n)=\infty$, where $\lambda$ denotes…

Given a monotonically decreasing $\psi: \mathbb{N} \to [0,\infty)$, Khintchine's Theorem provides an efficient tool to decide whether, for almost every $\alpha \in \mathbb{R}$, there are infinitely many $(p,q) \in \mathbb{Z}^2$ such that…

Let $K$ denote the middle third Cantor set and ${\cal A}:= \{3^n : n = 0,1,2, >... \} $. Given a real, positive function $\psi$ let $ W_{\cal A}(\psi)$ denote the set of real numbers $x$ in the unit interval for which there exist infinitely…

Under the assumption that the approximating function $\psi$ is monotonic, the classical Khintchine-Groshev theorem provides an elegant probabilistic criterion for the Lebesgue measure of the set of $\psi$-approximable matrices in $\R^{mn}$.…

We extend the Duffin--Schaeffer conjecture to the setting of systems of $m$ linear forms in $n$ variables. That is, we establish a criterion to determine whether, for a given rate of approximation, almost all or almost no $n$-by-$m$ systems…
