Abstract

Let F[0,1]F \subseteq [0,1] be a set that supports a probability measure μ\mu with the property that μ^(t)(logt)A |\widehat{\mu}(t)| \ll (\log |t|)^{-A} for some constant A>0 A > 0 . Let A=(qn)nN\mathcal{A}= (q_n)_{n\in \mathbb{N}} be a sequence of natural numbers. If A\mathcal{A} is lacunary and A>2A >2, we establish a quantitative inhomogeneous Khintchine-type theorem in which (i) the points of interest are restricted to FF and (ii) the denominators of the `shifted' rationals are restricted to A\mathcal{A}. The theorem can be viewed as a natural strengthening of the fact that the sequence (qnx mod1)nN(q_nx {\rm \ mod \, } 1)_{n\in \mathbb{N}} is uniformly distributed for μ\mu almost all xFx \in F. Beyond lacunary, our main theorem implies the analogous quantitative result for sequences A\mathcal{A} for which the prime divisors are restricted to a finite set of kk primes and A>2kA > 2k.
