Abstract

Let GG be a real algebraic group defined over Q\mathbb{Q}, Γ\Gamma be an arithmetic subgroup of GG, and TT be a maximal R\mathbb{R}-split torus. A trajectory in G/ΓG/\Gamma is divergent if eventually it leaves every compact subset. In some cases there is a finite collection of explicit algebraic data which account for the divergence. If this is the case, the divergent trajectory is called obvious. Given a closed cone in TT, we study the existence of non-obvious divergent trajectories under its action in G/ΓG/\Gamma. We get a sufficient condition for the existence of a non-obvious divergence trajectory in the general case, and a full classification under the assumption that \mboxrankQG=\mboxrankRG=2\mbox{rank}_{\mathbb{Q}}G=\mbox{rank}_{\mathbb{R}}G=2.
