Abstract

Let f:MMf: M \to M be a C1+θC^{1+\theta}-partially hyperbolic diffeomorphism. We introduce a type of modified Schmidt games which is induced by ff and played on any unstable manifold. Utilizing it we generalize some results of \cite{Wu} as follows. Consider a set of points with non-dense forward orbit: E(f,y):={zM:y{fk(z),kN}}E(f, y) := \{ z\in M: y\notin \overline{\{f^k(z), k \in \mathbb{N}\}}\} for some yMy \in M and Ex(f,y):=E(f,y)Wu(x)E_{x}(f, y) := E(f, y) \cap W^u(x) for any xMx\in M. We show that Ex(f,y)E_x(f,y) is a winning set for such modified Schmidt games played on Wu(x)W^u(x), which implies that Ex(f,y)E_x(f,y) has Hausdorff dimension equal to dimWu(x)\dim W^u(x). Then for any nonempty open set VMV \subset M we show that E(f,y)VE(f, y) \cap V has full Hausdorff dimension equal to dimM\dim M, by using a technique of constructing measures supported on E(f,y)E(f, y) with lower pointwise dimension approximating dimM\dim M.
