We study shrinking target problems and the set $\mathcal{E}_{\text{ah}}$ of eventually always hitting points. These are the points whose first $n$ iterates will never have empty intersection with the $n$-th target for sufficiently large…

We investigate the shrinking target and recurrence set associated to non-autonomous measure-preserving systems on compact metric spaces, establishing zero-one criteria in the spirit of classical Borel-Cantelli results. Our first main…

We consider dynamical systems $(X,T,\mu)$ which have exponential decay of correlations for either H\"older continuous functions or functions of bounded variation. Given a sequence of balls $(B_n)_{n=1}^\infty$, we give sufficient conditions…

We consider the set $\mathcal{R}_\mathrm{io}$ of points returning infinitely many times to a sequence of shrinking targets around themselves. Under additional assumptions we improve Boshernitzan's pioneering result on the speed of…

In the study of some dynamical systems the limsup set of a sequence of measurable sets is often of interest. The shrinking targets and recurrence are two of the most commonly studied problems that concern limsup sets. However, the zero-one…

Recurrence problems are fundamental in dynamics, and for example, sizes of the set of points recurring infinitely often to a target have been studied extensively in many contexts. For example, the problem of finding the dimension for…

We consider the minimal distance between orbits of measure preserving dynamical systems. In the spirit of dynamical shrinking target problems we identify distance rates for which almost sure asymptotic closeness properties can be ensured.…

We consider expanding systems with invariant measures that are uniformly expanding everywhere except on a small measure set and show that the limiting statistics of hitting times for zero measure sets are compound Poisson provided the…

There is a natural connection between two types of recurrence law: hitting times to shrinking targets, and hitting times to a fixed target (usually seen as escape through a hole). We show that for systems which mix exponentially fast, one…

Suppose $B_i:= B(p,r_i)$ are nested balls of radius $r_i$ about a point $p$ in a dynamical system $(T,X,\mu)$. The question of whether $T^i x\in B_i$ infinitely often (i. o.) for $\mu$ a.e.\ $x$ is often called the shrinking target problem.…

Let $(X,d)$ be a compact metric space and $(X,\mathcal{A},\mu,T)$ a measure preserving dynamical system. Furthermore, given a real, positive function $\psi$, let $W(T, \psi)$ and $ R(T,\psi) $ respectively denote the shrinking target set…

In this paper we study quantitative recurrence and the shrinking target problem for dynamical systems coming from overlapping iterated function systems. Such iterated function systems have the important property that a point often has…

Hitting rate and escape rate are two examples of recurrence laws for a dynamical system, and a general limit connects them. We show that for both Gibbs-Markov systems or any systems with the $\phi$-mixing measure, for a sequence of nested…

We consider both geometric and measure-theoretic shrinking targets for ergodic maps, investigating when they are visible or invisible. Some Baire category theorems are proved, and particular constructions are given when the underlying map…

We study the properties of `infinite-volume mixing' for two classes of intermittent maps: expanding maps $[0,1] \longrightarrow [0,1]$ with an indifferent fixed point at 0 preserving an infinite, absolutely continuous measure, and expanding…

We consider continuous-time consensus seeking systems whose time-dependent interactions are cut-balanced, in the following sense: if a group of agents influences the remaining ones, the former group is also influenced by the remaining ones…

We consider the discrete shrinking target problem for Teichm\"uller geodesic flow on the moduli space of abelian or quadratic differentials and prove that the discrete geodesic trajectory of almost every differential will hit a shrinking…

Given a volume preserving dynamical system with non-compact phase space, one is sometimes interested in special subsets of its wandering set. One example from celestial mechanics is the set of initial values leading to collision. Another…

We study an infinite system of moving particles, where each particle is of type A or B. Particles perform independent random walks at rates D_A>0 and D_B>0, and the interaction is given by mutual annihilation A+B->0. The initial condition…

We study convergence of return- and hitting-time distributions of small sets $E_{k}$ with $\mu(E_{k})\rightarrow0$ in recurrent ergodic dynamical systems preserving an infinite measure $\mu$. Some properties which are easy in finite measure…
