Abstract: Let |x| denote the distance from xinmathbbR to the nearest integer. In this paper, we prove an existence and density statement for matrices satisfying liminf_{|�oldsymbol{q}|_{infty} o +infty}prod_{j=1}^{n}max{1,|q_{j}|}logleft(prod_{j=1}^{n}max{1,|q_{j}|} ight)^{m+n-1}prod_{i=1}^{m}|A_{i}�oldsymbol{q}|>0, where the vector ranges in mathbbZn and Ai are the rows of the matrix . This result extends a previous result of Moshchevitin for 2-dimensional vectors to arbitrary dimension. The estimates needed to apply Moshchevitin's method to the case m>2 are not currently available. We therefore develop a substantially different method, that allows us to overcome this issue. We also generalise this existence result to the inhomogeneous setting. Matrices with the above property appear to have a very small sum of reciprocals of fractional parts. This fact helps us to shed light on a question raised by L^e and Vaaler, thereby proving some new estimates for such sums in higher dimension.
