Abstract

In this paper we study the mixed Littlewood Conjecture with pseudo-absolute values. We show that if p is a prime and D is a pseudo-absolute value sequence satisfying mild conditions then

inf(n is an element of N) n vertical bar n vertical bar(p)vertical bar n vertical bar D parallel to n alpha parallel to = 0 for all alpha is an element of R.

Our proof relies on a measure rigidity theorem due to Lindenstrauss and lower bounds for linear forms in logarithms due to Baker and Wustholz. We also deduce the answer to the related metric question of how fast the infimum above tends to zero, for almost every alpha.
