For a mixing stationary Markov chain we prove a Poisson limit law for the recurrence to small cylindrical sets. Since hyperbolic torus automorphisms are Markov chains, the result carries over to these transformations.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
