Abstract: A sequence ${x_n}_1^{i}nfty$ in $[0,1)$ is called Borel-Cantelli (BC) if for all non-increasing sequences of positive real numbers $a_n$ with $underseti=1oversetinftysum{a}_i=infty$ the set [underset{k=1}{overset{infty}{cap}} underset{n=k}{overset{infty}{cup}} B(x_n, a_n))={xin[0,1)mid |x_n-x|<a_n ext{for} infty ext{many}ngeq1}] has full Lebesgue measure. (To put it informally, BC sequences are sequences for which a natural converse to the Borel-Cantelli Theorem holds). The notion of BC sequences is motivated by the Monotone Shrinking Target Property for dynamical systems, but our approach is from a geometric rather than dynamical perspective. A sufficient condition, a necessary condition and a necessary and sufficient condition for a sequence to be BC are established. A number of examples of BC and not BC sequences are presented. The property of a sequence to be BC is a delicate diophantine property. For example, the orbits of a pseudo-Anosoff IET (interval exchange transformation) are BC while the orbits of a "generic" IET are not. The notion of BC sequences is extended to more general spaces.
