Extract

In the problem session of the Journées Arithmétiques 1989 in Luminy, Bourgain made the following

Conjecture. Suppose α is an algebraic number of degree d. Assume that for each n∈ ℕ

Then there exists a constant c = c(α) with the following property: given any subspace W of dimension ≤ d − 1 of the d-dimensional ℚ-vector space ℚ(α), the set {n|n∈ℕ,αnW} contains fewer than c(α) elements.
