Erdős problem 987

Clunie [Cl67] proved that there exists an infinite sequence {zν}\{z_\nu\} on the unit circle with AννA_\nu \le \nu for all ν1\nu \ge 1. Translating zν=e(xν)z_\nu = e(x_\nu), the natural domain of xνx_\nu is the half-open unit interval Ico01\mathrm{Ico}\,0\,1, matching the original [Er64b]/[Cl67] statement (any unit complex number is allowed, including z=1z = 1, i.e. x=0x = 0).

Erdős [Er64b] remarks it is "easy to see" that for every infinite sequence x1,x2,(0,1)x_1, x_2, \ldots \in (0, 1), lim supksupnjne(kxj)=.\limsup_{k \to \infty} \sup_n \left\lvert \sum_{j \le n} e(k x_j) \right\rvert = \infty.

The proof uses `sorry`: part of the argument is written but not proved. Lean accepts the file; it does not accept the theorem.
