Bugeaud Collection of Conjectures and Open Questions: Confined Powers of Non-Pisot Numbers

Problem 10.7. Let ε\varepsilon be a positive real number. Are there arbitrarily large real numbers α\alpha such that α\alpha is not a Pisot number and all the fractional parts {αn}\{\alpha^n\}, n1n \ge 1, are lying in an interval of length $\varepsilon / ...

Problem 10.7. Let ε\varepsilon be a positive real number. Are there arbitrarily large real numbers α\alpha such that α\alpha is not a Pisot number and all the fractional parts {αn}\{\alpha^n\}, n1n \ge 1, are lying in an interval of length ε/α\varepsilon / \alpha? [Bug12b]

Statement artifacts, not proofs

These records expose exact Lean propositions and statement-only wrappers. Defining a proposition does not supply a proof of it. A placeholder-bearing target also contains no proof. Elaboration checks syntax and types; it does not certify that a formalization perfectly captures every nuance of the informal problem.
