Shrinking targets in fast mixing flows and the geodesic flow on negatively curved manifolds

Dynamical Systems 2011-10-20 v2

Abstract

We show that in a rapidly mixing flow with an invariant measure, the time which is needed to hit a given section is related to a sort of conditional dimension of the measure at the section. The result is applied to the geodesic flow of compact variable negative sectional curvature manifolds, establishing a logarithm law for such kind of flow.
