The weak inhomogeneous Duffin–Schaeffer conjecture

Proves that for every real shift γ and finite-valued

\psi:\mathbb N\to[0,\infty)

, divergence of

\sum_q\phi(q)\psi(q)/q

implies

\|qx-\gamma\|\lt \psi(q)

for infinitely many q, for almost every x. Here ϕ is Euler's totient and the norm is distance to the nearest integer. Numerators are unrestricted; no monotonicity or Diophantine condition on γ is needed.
