01Statements1 reported findingNo statement issues found

The selected full-dimension shrinking-target theorem is correctly stated and gives exactly the nonempty inhomogeneously badly approximable set used by Fishman–Lambert–Merrill–Simmons.

Theorem 1No issue found

Every toral translation matrix has a full-dimensional uniformly avoiding target set

arXiv:0807.3863v2 · Theorem 1

For every real matrix AA, the set of shifts bounded uniformly away from the orbit AqA\mathbf q at the Dirichlet scale has full Hausdorff dimension. In particular it is nonempty, which is precisely the contradiction input in focal Lemma 2.6.

02Proofs3 reported findingsNo proof issues found

The selected ball-case proof is correct: exact arXiv v2 reproduces the KTV retained-child condition with the required lower bound, and its single-metric specialization is unaffected by the broader product-coordinate issue recorded on the KTV source.

Application of KTV Theorem 1No issue found in the reviewed proof

The retained-child condition has the required lower-bound direction

arXiv:0807.3863v2 · reproduced KTV theorem and proof of Theorem 1

Exact v2 states #C(θBn)≥κ1kδ\#\mathcal C(\theta B_n)\geq\kappa_1 k^\delta, the direction required for the Cantor lower-dimension argument. Its bad-child estimate is an upper bound with constant κ2<κ1\kappa_2<\kappa_1, so a positive proportion of children remains at every stage.

Ball-case specializationNo issue found in the reviewed proof

The selected application uses one ambient metric rather than a product of coordinate conditions

arXiv:0807.3863v2 · KTV criterion and resonant-set construction

BHKV applies the criterion to ordinary metric balls and distances from resonant affine hyperplanes. The coordinatewise-versus-existential distinction that needs repair in KTV's more general rectangular framework does not arise in this one-metric application.

Remaining inputsCorrect modulo represented sources

The lacunary and convex-body estimates align

arXiv:0807.3863v2 · proof of Theorem 1

The Bugeaud–Laurent lacunary subsequence, Cassels linear-forms theorem, and local counting estimates are used with compatible dimensions and scales. No further contradiction or missing case was found in the selected proof chain.
