Abstract

Following Beck's work on toral translations relative to straight boxes in Tn\mathbb{T}^n, we prove a weaker upper bound and the same lower bound for ergodic discrepancies of toral translations relative to a triangle in T2\mathbb{T}^2. Specifically, given a positive increasing function φ(n)\varphi(n), we show that for a full measure set of translation vectors αT2\alpha\in \mathbb{T}^2, if the series N=11φ(N)\sum_{N=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{\varphi (N)} converges, then the maximal discrepancy of toral translations relative to the triangles of a given slope τ\tau is bounded from above by Const(α,τ)(logN)2φ2(loglogN)Const(\alpha,\tau) (\log N)^2 \varphi^2(\log \log N), and there would be infinitely many NN's such that the maximal discrepancy is greater than (logN)2φ(loglogN)(\log N)^2\varphi(\log \log N) if the series N=11φ(N)\sum_{N=1}^{\infty} \frac{1}{\varphi (N)} diverges. An important difference between our result and that of Beck' is an additional factor φ(loglogN)\varphi(\log \log N), which is necessary in our proof for controlling the new small divisors created by the hypotenuse.
