In particular, given a function $\\varphi:\\mathbb{N}\\to(0,\\infty),$ we study the metric properties of the set $$R(T,\\varphi)=\\left\\{x\\in X:|T^nx-x|<\\varphi(n)\\textrm{ for infinitely many }n\\in \\mathbb{N}\\right\\}.$$ Our main result is that under the open set condition, for the natural measure $\\mu$ supported on $X$, $\\mu$-almost every $x\\in X$ is contained in $R(T,\\varphi)$ when an appropriate volume sum diverges. We also prove a complementary result which states that for self-similar sets satisfying the open set condition, when the volume sum converges, then $\\mu$-almost every $x\\in X$ is not contained in $R(T,\\varphi).$", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2019-09-19T10:41:59.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "quantitative recurrence properties", "self-conformal sets", "open set condition", "appropriate volume sum diverges", "volume sum converges" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
