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…

The Duffin-Schaeffer conjecture is a fundamental unsolved problem in metric number theory. It asserts that for every non-negative function $\psi:~\mathbb{N} \rightarrow \mathbb{R}$ for almost all reals $x$ there are infinitely many coprime…

The inhomogeneous Khintchine-Groshev Theorem is a classical generalization of Khintchine's Theorem in Diophantine approximation, by approximating points in $\mathbb{R}^m$ by systems of linear forms in $n$ variables. Analogous to the…

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…

Let \(Q \subseteq \mathbb{N}\) be a subset, and let \(\psi\colon \mathbb{N} \to [0, \tfrac{1}{2})\), \(\theta\colon \mathbb{N} \to \mathbb{R}\) be functions. Let \(\{A_q\}\) and \(\{B_q\}\) be sequences of integers such that \(\gcd(A_q,…

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…

We develop the inhomogeneous counterpart to some key aspects of the story of the Duffin--Schaeffer Conjecture (1941). Specifically, we construct counterexamples to a number of candidates for a sans-monotonicity version of Szusz's…

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…

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}…

We study (inhomogeneous) approximation for systems of linear forms using integer points which satisfy additional primitivity constraints. The first family of primitivity constraints we consider were introduced in 2015 by Dani, Laurent, and…

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…

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…
