The Littlewood conjecture
The Littlewood Conjecture, proposed by UK mathematician John Littewood in 1930, states that for any two real numbers α and β,
$${\displaystyle \liminf _{n\to \infty }\ n\,\Vert n\alpha \Vert \,\Vert n\beta \Vert =0,}$$
where $${\displaystyle \Vert x\Vert :=\min(|x-\lfloor x\rfloor |,|x-\lceil x\rceil |)}$$ is the distance to the nearest integer.
In plain language :
Any two real numbers α and β can be simultaneously approximated at least moderately well by rationals having the same denominator.
As yet, it remains unproved (though there are some partial solutions).
