Abstract:
A game invented by Wolfgang Schmidt in the 1960s turned out to be a useful tool for studying exceptional sets in ergodic dynamical systems. I will survey a historical development of this theme and then describe some recent results, joint with Ryan Broderick, Yann Bugeaud, Lior Fishman and Barak Weiss.Date: Friday, February 25, 2011
