In a finite measure space \(X\) with a measure-preserving transformation \(T: X \to X\), the \textit{discrete shrinking target problem} considers the question of which trajectories \(\{T^n(x)\}_{n \in\mathbb N}\) will hit a shrinking family of measurable subsets \(B_1 \supset B_2 \supset \cdots\) infinitely often. Building on work of \textit{D. Kelmer} [Geom. Funct. Anal. 27, No. 5, 1257--1287 (2017; Zbl 1380.37005)] and generalizing theorems of \textit{R. Aimino} et al. [Ann. Inst. Henri Poincaré, Probab. Stat. 53, No. 3, 1371--1401 (2017; Zbl 1379.37012)], the authors ``consider the discrete shrinking target problem for Teichmüller 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 family of targets infinitely many often provided the measures of the targets are summable. This result applies to any ergodic \(\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb R)\)-invariant measure and any family of spherical targets. Under stronger conditions on the targets, we moreover prove that almost every differential will eventually always hit the targets. As an application, we obtain a logarithm law describing the rate at which generic discrete trajectories accumulate on a given point in moduli space.''
