Abstract

In this paper we show that the transfer operator of a Rauzy–Veech–Zorich renormalization map acting on a space of quasi-Hölder functions is quasicompact and derive certain statistical recurrence properties for this map and its associated Teichmüller flow. We establish Borel–Cantelli lemmas, Extreme Value statistics and return time statistics for the map and flow. Previous results have established quasicompactness in Hölder or analytic function spaces, for example the work of M. Pollicott and T. Morita. The quasi-Hölder function space is particularly useful for investigating return time statistics. In particular we establish the shrinking target property for nested balls in the setting of Teichmüller flow. Our point of view, approach and terminology derive from the work of M. Pollicott augmented by that of M. Viana.

Résumé

Dans cet article, nous démontrons que l’opérateur de transfert de l’application de renormalisation de Rauzy–Veech–Zorich est quasi-compact sur l’espace des fonctions quasi-Hölder, et nous en déduisons plusieurs propriétés de récurrence statistiques pour cette application et le flot de Teichmüller associé. Nous établissons des lemmes de Borel–Cantelli, des statistiques des valeurs extrêmes et des temps de retour pour l’application et le flot. De précédents résultats ont établi la quasi-compacité dans des espaces de fonctions Hölder ou analytiques, comme par exemple les travaux de M. Pollicott ou de T. Morita. L’espace fonctionnel quasi-Hölder est particulièrement adapté pour analyser les propriétés de récurrence statistiques. En particulier, nous démontrons la propriétés des cibles rétrécissantes pour des boules imbriquées dans le cadre du flot de Teichmüller. Notre point de vue, approche et terminologie proviennent du travail de M. Pollicott ainsi que de celui de M. Viana.
