Bugeaud Collection of Conjectures and Open Questions: $p$-adic Littlewood Conjecture

Problem 10.8 (pp-adic Littlewood conjecture). For every real number ξ\xi and every prime number pp, infq1qqξqp=0,\inf_{q \ge 1} q \cdot \lVert q \xi \rVert \cdot |q|_p = 0, where \lVert \cdot \rVert denotes the distance to the nearest integer and p|\cdot|_p de...

Problem 10.8 (pp-adic Littlewood conjecture). For every real number ξ\xi and every prime number pp, infq1qqξqp=0,\inf_{q \ge 1} q \cdot \lVert q \xi \rVert \cdot |q|_p = 0, where \lVert \cdot \rVert denotes the distance to the nearest integer and p|\cdot|_p denotes the pp-adic absolute value. Posed by de Mathan and Teulié [dMT04].

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.
