Abstract

We study the dynamics of multidimensional contracted rotations and address a problem posed by Y. Bugeaud and J-P. Conze in \textit{Acta Arithmetica} in 1999. More precisely, we show that if AA is an invertible linear contraction of Rd\mathbb{R}^d, then the map f:[0,1)d[0,1)df: [0,1)^d\to [0,1)^d defined by f(x)=Ax+b(modZd)f(x) = Ax +b\,\,(\textrm{mod}\,\mathbb{Z}^d) is asymptotically periodic for Lebesgue almost all bRdb\in\mathbb{R}^d.
