The paper’s Theorem 1.3 states explicitly that the set of weighted uniform inhomogeneous Dirichlet pairs D̂_{n,m}[g;α,β] has Lebesgue measure zero if the series ∑_{l≥1} (1/l)·(∏_j β_j(l))·(∏_i α_i(g(l))) diverges, and full measure if it converges . This agrees with the unweighted statement (Theorem A / Proposition 1.7), which in the weights setting reads: the set of (g; ρ,σ)-Dirichlet pairs has zero measure if ∑_{l≥1} 1/(l^2 g(l)) diverges, and full measure if it converges . The candidate’s counterexample relies on a claim that uniform inhomogeneous Dirichlet (e.g., g(T)=1/T in dimension 1) holds for every pair (Θ,η), which the paper’s introduction explicitly refutes: not all pairs are f1-Dirichlet, and in general ||Θq−η|| can be bounded away from zero . Moreover, the proof strategy in the paper uses transference between uniform inhomogeneous pairs and homogeneous approximability (Theorems 1.4 and 1.5) to establish the zero–one law with the “divergence ⇒ null” direction for pairs; see the proof of Theorem 1.3 . Hence the paper’s direction is correct, and the model’s reversal and its “counterexample” are invalid.
Referee report (LaTeX)
\textbf{Recommendation:} minor revisions \textbf{Journal Tier:} specialist/solid \textbf{Justification:} The manuscript gives a clean transference-based argument establishing a weighted generalization of the Kleinbock–Wadleigh zero–one law for uniform inhomogeneous approximation. The direction of the zero–one law for pairs (divergence implies null, convergence implies full) is correctly stated and coherently derived from the homogeneous approximability side with suitable twisted results. The work is technically sound and contributes a streamlined proof with general weight functions. Minor presentation improvements (notation harmonization, clarifying the role of the weight products and the transference relation between the two series) would further enhance clarity.
