讲座主题:Shrinking Targets versus Recurrence

讲座摘要: Let (X,d) be a compact metric space and (X,𝒜,𝜇,T)  be a probability measure preserving system. Furthermore, given a real, positive function 𝜓 : ℕ → ℝ≥0 let

R(𝜓) = { x ∈ X : d(Tnx,x) < 𝜓(n) for infinitely many n ∈ ℕ }

denote the associated recurrent set, and given a point x0 ∈ X let

W(𝜓) = { x ∈ X : d(Tnx,x0) < 𝜓(n) for infinitely many n ∈ ℕ }

denote the associated shrinking target set. Under certain mixing properties it known that if the series ∑n ∈ ℕ ψ(n) diverges then both the recurrent and shrinking target sets are of full 𝜇-measure. The purpose of this talk is discuss the potential quantitative strengthening of these full measure statements.

This is joint work with Jason Levesley (York), Bing Li (SCUT) and David Simmons (York), and ongoing work with Junjie Huang (SCUT) and Bing Li (SCUT).
