Non exponential law of entrance times in asymptotically rare events for intermittent maps with infinite invariant measure (Q5950569)

Let \(I=[0,1]\) endowed with the Lebesgue measure \(\lambda \). Consider a sequence \(c_j\) strictly decreasing to \(0\), with \(c_0=1\) and satisfying the condition \(c_{j+1}/c_j\rightarrow 1\) as \(j\rightarrow \infty \). Define the intervals \(I_j=(c_{j+1},c_j)\), \(j\geq 0\) and \(T:I\rightarrow I\) affine and increasing on each \(I_j\) and maps \(I_0\) onto \(I\) and \(I_j\) onto \(I_{j-1}\) for all \(j\geq 1\). Let \(d_j\) be the preimages of \(c_1\) on \(I_0\) and consider the sequence of intervals \(B_j=(d_j,1)\), \(j\geq 0\), which represents a sequence of rare events. For any \(x\in I\) define \(\tau _j(x)=\min \{i\geq 1:T^i(x)\in B_j\}\), the entrance times of a point in \(B_j\). The authors prove that the entrance times times some appropriate function converges in distribution to some well-known probability distributions.
