We prove a Jarn\\'ik-type inequality for geodesics bounded in some compact part of the stratum and we establish generalized logarithmic laws for geodesics admitting excursions to infinity at a given prescribed rate. Our main tool are planar resonant sets arising from a given translation surface, that is the countable sets of directions of its saddle connections or of its closed geodesics, filtered according to length. We study approximations of a general direction by the elements of a resonant set. In an abstract setting, and assuming specific metric properties for resonant sets, we prove a dichotomy for the Hausdorff measure of well approximable directions and an estimate on the dimension of badly approximable directions. Then we prove that resonant sets arising from a translation surface satisfies the required metric properties. Our techniques also give estimates on the Hausdorff dimension of the set of directions in a rational billiard having fast recurrence.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-02-17T19:10:38.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "hausdorff measure", "diophantine conditions", "resonant sets arising", "assuming specific metric properties", "planar resonant sets" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 41, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
