Abstract

For Lebesgue generic (x1,x2)R2(x_1,x_2)\in \mathbb{R}^2, we investigate the distribution of small values of products qqx1qx2q\cdot \|qx_1\| \cdot \|qx_2\| with qNq\in\mathbb{N}, where \|\cdot \| denotes the distance to the closest integer. The main result gives an asymptotic formula for the number of 1qT1\le q\le T such that aT<qqx1qx2bTandqx1,qx2cT a_T <q\cdot \|qx_1\| \cdot \|qx_2\|\leq b_T \quad \textrm{and} \quad \|qx_1\|, \|qx_2\|\leq c_T for given sequences aT,bT,cTa_T,b_T, c_T satisfying certain growth conditions.

The Borel-Cantelli argument in the previous version is wrong, and has been corrected in the present version
