Abstract

Let G=SL(2,R)nG=\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{R})^n, let Γ=Γ0n\Gamma=\Gamma_0^n, where Γ0\Gamma_0 is a co-compact lattice in SL(2,R)\mathrm{SL}(2,\mathbb{R}), let F(x)F(\mathbf{x}) be a non-singular quadratic form and let u(x1,...,xn)u(x_1,...,x_n) denote the unipotent elements in GG which generate the standard nn dimensional horospherical subgroup, consisting of 2×22\times 2 upper triangular unipotent matrices in each co-ordinate. We prove that in absence of any local obstructions for FF, given any x0G/Γx_0\in G/\Gamma, the sparse subset {u(x)x0:Zn,F(x)=0}\{u(\mathbf{x})x_0:\in\mathbb{Z}^n, F(\mathbf{x})=0\} equidistributes in G/ΓG/\Gamma as long as n481n\geq 481, independent of the spectral gap of Γ0\Gamma_0.
