Abstract

In this paper, we are interested in the limit theorem question for sums of indicator functions. We show that in every aperiodic dynamical system, for every increasing sequence (an)nNR+(a_n)_{n\in\N}\subset\R_+ such that ana_n\nearrow\infty and ann0\frac{a_n}{n}\to 0 as nn\to\infty, there exists a measurable set AA such that the sequence of the distributions of the partial sums 1ani=0n1(\indAμ(A))Ti\frac{1}{a_n}\sum_{i=0}^{n-1}(\ind_A-\mu(A))\circ T^i is dense in the set of the probability measures on R\R. Further, in the ergodic case, we prove that there exists a dense GδG_\delta of such sets.
