Khintchine dichotomy for images of self-similar measures and almost random walks

Abstract

Following the celebrated breakthrough in Bénard-He-Zhang, we prove Khintchine dichotomy for push-forwards of self-similar measures on ${\mathbb{R}}^d$ under uniform $C^{1+\alpha }$ maps. For this, we also study almost random walks on $\mathrm{SL}(d+1,\mathbb{R})/\mathrm{SL}(d+1,\mathbb{Z})$ and prove their effective equidistribution.
