Abstract

We discuss some easy statements dealing with linear inhomogeneous Diophantine approximation. Surprisingly, we did not find some of them in the literature.

Audit summary

Audited against arXiv v1

Not a correctness certificate. A “Correct” result may include yellow typos or minor formal corrections that do not affect substantive soundness. It means this audit found no unresolved substantive error under the stated criteria; it does not replace expert scrutiny or formal verification.

The inhomogeneous approximation statements, including the primitive-point conclusions in Theorem 7, are correct after two local parameter and index corrections.

Proof of Theorem 3Correct and complete

Jarnik's growth estimate and transference give the claimed approximant

Pages 2–3 · proof of Theorem 3 · arXiv:2205.14961v1

Jarnik's estimate provides tνt_\nu\to\infty with tνψΘ(tν/(2Kε))t_\nu\psi_{\Theta^\top}(t_\nu/(2K\varepsilon))\to\infty. Applying Theorem 1 with C=ε/tνC=\varepsilon/t_\nu and X=(KψΘ(tν/(2Kε)))1X=(K\psi_{\Theta^\top}(t_\nu/(2K\varepsilon)))^{-1} gives an integer vector with error below ε/tν\varepsilon/t_\nu and xXtν|\boldsymbol x|\leq X\leq t_\nu for large ν\nu. Hence the error is below ε/x\varepsilon/|\boldsymbol x|, exactly as Theorem 3 claims.

Theorems 3 and 7Correct

The primitive inhomogeneous approximants exist with the stated quality

Pages 2–3 and 7–8 · Theorems 3 and 7 · arXiv:2205.14961v1

The transference parallelepiped supplies a lattice point at the required approximation scale. Adding a short multiple of a basis vector makes its coefficients coprime; the perturbation is smaller than the available inhomogeneous error in both parameter regimes.

Theorem 3 and proof of Theorem 7Minor formal corrections · no status impact

A variable range and one endpoint exponent need local correction

Pages 2 and 7 · Theorem 3 and final proof · arXiv:2205.14961v1

The independent indices in Theorem 3 satisfy 1i<jm1\leq i<j\leq m, not jnj\leq n. In the final perturbation argument choose any δ<(m1)/((m+1)(m+3))\delta<(m-1)/((m+1)(m+3)) rather than equality; then the residual factor tends to zero exactly as required. The primitive-point lemma permits every positive δ\delta, so this change has no downstream effect.

02Proofs1 reported findingCorrect

The transference and primitive-perturbation proofs are complete after choosing the final exponent strictly inside its admissible range.

Proof of Theorem 7Correct and complete after the stated repair

A strict interior exponent makes the final error vanish

Pages 7–8 · equations (20)–(21) · arXiv:2205.14961v1

The coefficient bound is polynomial in the transference parameter, and the coprimality adjustment grows by an arbitrarily small power. With the strict choice of δ\delta, its contribution is o(1/T1)o(1/T_1) and the stated infinitely many primitive approximants follow.

Recommended production method

Authenticate with ORCID, then require an exact arXiv match

MathAudit should accept the identity only when ORCID OAuth authenticates the claimant's iD and this exact arXiv paper appears in arXiv's public authority feed for that iD. A matching name alone is not sufficient.

ORCID OAuth and arXiv authority-record lookup are not connected in this local prototype.

Email fallback for papers without a linked ORCID

A production fallback could send a one-time link only when the submitted address matches an independently maintained author-contact allowlist for this paper. MathAudit must return the same message for every address so the form cannot reveal which contacts are on that list.

This demonstration does not send, store, or compare the address.

Structured response preview

This form remains unavailable until production identity verification succeeds. Nothing entered here is submitted.

This panel never establishes authorship in the local prototype. A production result should be described narrowly as an authenticated ORCID match or control of a separately allowlisted author-contact mailbox.
