# Inhomogeneous coverings of topological Markov shifts

#### Stephane Seuret - Université Paris-Est Créteil Val-de-Marne

Let $S$ be an irreducible topological Markov shift, and let $\mu$ be a shift-invariant Gibbs measure on $S$. Let $(X_n)_{n\geq 1}$ be a sequence of i.i.d. random variables with common law $\mu$. We are interested in the size of the set of points which are covered infinitely many times by the balls $B(X_n, n^{-s})$. This generalizes the original Dvoretzky problem by considering random coverings of fractal sets by non homogeneously distributed balls. We compute the almost sure dimension of $\limsup_{n\to +\infty} B(X_n, n^{-s})$ for every $s$, which depends on $s$ and the multifractal features of $\mu$. Our results include the inhomogeneous covering of $\zu^d$ and Sierpinski carpets.
