Abstract
We study conservative ergodic infinite measure preserving transformations satisfying a compact regeneration property introduced by the second-named author in J. Anal. Math. 103 (2007). Assuming regular variation of the wandering rate, we clarify the asymptotic distributional behaviour of the random vector , where Z_{n} and S_{n} are respectively the time of the last visit before time n to, and the occupation time of, a suitable set Y of finite measure.
