Abstract
Let M be a pinched negatively curved Riemannian manifold, whose unit tangent bundle is endowed with a Gibbs measure m F associated with a potential F. We compute the Hausdorff dimension of the conditional measures of m F . We study the m F -almost sure asymptotic penetration behaviour of locally geodesic lines of M into small neighbourhoods of closed geodesics, and of other compact (locally) convex subsets of M. We prove Khintchine-type and logarithm law-type results for the spiraling of geodesic lines around these objects. As an arithmetic consequence, we give almost sure Diophantine approximation results of real numbers by quadratic irrationals with respect to general Hölder quasi-invariant measures.
