Spatio-temporal Poisson processes for visits to small sets

For many measure preserving dynamical systems (Ω,T, μ) the successive hitting times to a small set is well approximated by a Poisson process on the real line. In this work we define a new process obtained from recording not only the successive times n of visits to a set A, but also the position Tn (x)in A of the orbit, in the limit where μ(A) → 0.
