Abstract

Let V\mathbb V be a polarized variation of Hodge structure over a smooth complex quasi-projective variety SS. In this paper, we give a complete description of the typical Hodge locus for such variations. We prove that it is either empty or equidistributed with respect to a natural differential form, \emph{the pull-push form}. In particular, it is always analytically dense when the pull-push form does not vanish. When the weight is 22, the Hodge numbers are (q,p,q)(q,p,q) and the dimension of SS is least rqrq, we prove that the typical locus where the Picard rank is at least rr is equidistributed in SS with respect to the volume form cqrc_q^r, where cqc_q is the qq\textsuperscript{th} Chern form of the Hodge bundle. We obtain also several equidistribution results of the typical locus in Shimura varieties: a criterion for the density of the typical Hodge loci of a variety in Ag\mathcal{A}_g, equidistribution of certain families of CM points and equidistribution of Hecke translates of curves and surfaces in Ag\mathcal A_g. These results are proved in the much broader context of dynamics on homogeneous spaces of Lie groups which are of independent interest. The pull-push form appear in this greater generality and we provide several tools to determine it and we compute it in many examples.
