Local limit theorems for hitting times and return times of small sets

Dynamical Systems 2025-08-28 v2

Abstract

We establish abstract local limit theorems for hitting times and return-times of suitable sequences (A_{l}) of asymptotically rare events in ergodic probability preserving dynamical systems, including versions for tuples of consecutive times and positions of the hits. These results are shown to apply in the setup of Gibbs-Markov systems.
