Abstract

Let T:[0,1]d[0,1]dT:[0,1]^d \rightarrow[0,1]^d be a piecewise expanding map with an absolutely continuous (with respect to the dd-dimensional Lebesgue measure mdm_d) TT-invariant probability measure μ\mu. Let {rn}\left\{\mathbf{r}_n\right\} be a sequence of vectors satisfying the conditons that rn=(rn,1,,rn,d)(R0)d\mathbf{r}_n=\left(r_{n, 1}, \ldots, r_{n, d}\right) \in\left(\mathbb{R}_{\geq 0}\right)^d, the sequence {max1idrn,imin1idrn,i}\left\{\frac{\max _{1 \leq i \leq d}\hspace{1ex}r_{n, i}}{\min _{1 \leq i \leq d}\hspace{1ex}r_{n, i}}\right\} is bounded and limnmax1idrn,i=0\lim _{n \rightarrow \infty} \max _{1 \leq i \leq d}r_{n, i}=0. Let {δn}\left\{\delta_n\right\} be a sequence of non-negative real numbers with limnδn=0\lim _{n \rightarrow \infty} \delta_n=0. Under the assumptions that μ\mu is exponentially mixing and its density is sufficiently regular, we prove that the μ\mu-measure of the following sets Rf({rn})={x[0,1]d:TnxR(f(x),rn) for infinitely many nN}\mathcal{R}^f\left(\left\{\mathbf{r}_n\right\}\right)=\left\{\mathbf{x} \in[0,1]^d: T^n \mathbf{x} \in R\left(f(\mathbf{x}), \mathbf{r}_n\right) \text { for infinitely many } n \in \mathbb{N} \right\} and Rf×({δn})={x[0,1]d:TnxH(f(x),δn) for infinitely many nN}\mathcal{R}^{f \times}\left(\left\{\delta_n\right\}\right)=\left\{\mathbf{x} \in[0,1]^d: T^n \mathbf{x} \in H\left(f(\mathbf{x}), \delta_n\right) \text { for infinitely many } n \in \mathbb{N} \right\} obeys zero-full laws determined by the convergence or divergence of natural volume sums. Here, R(f(x),rn)R(f(\mathbf{x}), \mathbf{r}_n) and H(f(x),δn)H(f(\mathbf{x}), \delta_n) represent targets as, respectively, coordinate-parallel hyperrectangles with bounded aspect ratio, and hyperboloids, both centered at f(x)f(\mathbf{x}). f:[0,1]d[0,1]df: [0,1]^d \rightarrow [0,1]^d is a piecewise Lipschitz vector function. Our results not only unify quantitative recurrence properties and the shrinking target problem for piecewise expanding maps on [0,1]d[0,1]^d, but also reveal that the two problems and cross-component recurrence can coexist in distinct directions on [0,1]d[0,1]^d.
