Abstract

Let AA be an invertible d×dd\times d matrix with integer elements. Then AA determines a self-map TT of the dd-dimensional torus Td=Rd/Zd\mathbb{T}^d=\mathbb{R}^d/\mathbb{Z}^d. Given a real number τ>0\tau>0, and a sequence {zn}\{z_n\} of points in Td\mathbb{T}^d, let WτW_\tau be the set of points xTdx\in\mathbb{T}^d such that Tn(x)B(zn,enτ)T^n(x)\in B(z_n,e^{-n\tau}) for infinitely many nNn\in\mathbb{N}. The Hausdorff dimension of WτW_\tau has previously been studied by Hill--Velani and Li--Liao--Velani--Zorin. We provide complete results on the Hausdorff dimension of WτW_\tau for any expanding matrix. For hyperbolic matrices, we compute the dimension of WτW_\tau only when AA is a 2×22 \times 2 matrix. We give counterexamples to a natural candidate for a dimension formula for general dimension dd.
