We define a Diophantine condition for interval-exchange transformations. When the number of intervals is two, that is, for rotations on the circle, our condition coincides with the classical Khinchin condition. We prove for interval-exchange transformations the same dichotomy as in the Khinchin Theorem. We also develop several results relating the Rauzy-Veech algorithm with homogeneous approximations for interval-exchange transformations.
Keywords: Rauzy– Veech induction, Interval-exchange transformations, Teichmüller dynamics., Diophantine conditions.
