Abstract: For a fixed integer $n$, we study the question whether at least one of the numbers $ReXomeg{a}^k$, $1leqkleqn$, is $varepsilon$-close to an integer, for any possible value of $XinmathbbC$, where $omega$ is a primitive $n$th root of unity. It turns out that there is always a $X$ for which the above numbers are concentrated around $$. The distance from $1/2$ depends only on the local properties of $n$, rather than its magnitude. This is directly related the so-called "pyjama" problem which was solved recently.
