====== The Littlewood conjecture ======

The Littlewood Conjecture, proposed by UK mathematician John Littewood in 1930, states that for any two real numbers α and β,

$${\displaystyle \liminf _{n\to \infty }\ n\,\Vert n\alpha \Vert \,\Vert n\beta \Vert =0,}$$

{{:spacer.png?40|}}where $${\displaystyle \Vert x\Vert :=\min(|x-\lfloor x\rfloor |,|x-\lceil x\rceil |)}$$ {{:spacer.png?40|}}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).
