Abstract

Given an increasing integer sequence (an)(a_n), a real number α\alpha, and a sequence ψ(n)\psi(n), we study the set WW of real numbers γ\gamma for which anαγa_n\alpha - \gamma is a distance less than ψ(n)\psi(n) away from an integer. This is often referred to as twisted Diophantine approximation, in this case with denominators restricted to the given sequence (an)(a_n). Our main results are about the size of WW, and they hold for almost every α\alpha, with respect to a measure of positive Fourier dimension, for example Lebesgue measure. Our results extend recent work of Kristensen and Persson, and answer questions that they posed.
