Abstract

We survey the use of dynamics of SL(2,R)SL(2, \R)-actions to understand gap distributions for various sequences of subsets of [0,1)[0, 1), particularly those arising from special trajectories of various two-dimensional dynamical systems. We state and prove an abstract theorem that gives a unified explanation for some of the examples we present.
