Abstract

We establish sharp algebraic criteria for the LpL^{p}-integrability, for p=1,2,p = 1, 2, \infty, of a natural generalization of the Siegel transform to the setting of rational representations of semisimple algebraic Q\mathbb{Q}-groups, extending Siegel's analytic work in the geometry of numbers. As an application, we derive an effective asymptotic formula for the number of rational approximations of bounded height to almost every real point on a rank-one flag variety at the Diophantine exponent. The argument combines the integrability criterion with effective equidistribution estimates for translated orbits of maximal compact subgroups, a result of independent interest.
