Abstract

We generalize the monotone shrinking target property (MSTP) to the s-exponent monotone shrinking target property (sMSTP) and give a necessary and sufficient condition for a circle rotation to have sMSTP. Using another variant of MSTP, we obtain a new, very short, proof of a known result, which concerns the behavior of irrational rotations and implies a logarithm law similar to D. Sullivan's logarithm law for geodesics.
