Compound Poisson statistics in conventional and nonconventional setups

From MaRDI portal



Abstract: Given a periodic point omega in a psi-mixing shift with countable alphabet, the sequence Sn of random variables counting the number of multiple returns to shrinking cylindrical neighborhoods of omega is considered. Necessary and sufficient conditions for the convergence in distribution of Sn are obtained, and it is shown that the limit is a Polya-Aeppli distribution. A global condition on the shift system, which guarantees the convergence in distribution of Sn for every periodic point, is introduced. This condition is used to derive results for f-expansions and Gibbs measures. Results are also obtained concerning the possible limit distribution of sub-sequences Snk. A family of examples in which there is no convergence is presented. We exhibit also an example for which the limit distribution is pure Poissonian.
