Quantitative shrinking target properties for rotations and interval exchanges (Q2631889)

This paper proves quantitative shrinking target results for rotations and interval exchange transformations (IETs). To extend their findings on rotations to IETs, the authors obtain a quantitative version of a criterion for unique ergodicity of \textit{M. D. Boshernitzan} [Ergodic Theory Dyn. Syst. 12, No. 3, 425--428 (1992; Zbl 0756.58030)]. Quantitative equidistribution theorems for IETs and flows were also found by \textit{A. Zorich} [Ergodic Theory Dyn. Syst. 17, No. 6, 1477--1499 (1997; Zbl 0958.37002)], \textit{G. Forni} [Ann. Math. (2) 155, No. 1, 1--103 (2002; Zbl 1034.37003)], and \textit{J. S. Athreya} and \textit{G. Forni} [Duke Math. J. 144, No. 2, 285--319 (2008; Zbl 1153.37001)].
