Abstract

Let uXtu_{X}^{t} be a unipotent flow on X=SO(n,1)/ΓX=SO(n,1)/\Gamma, uYtu_{Y}^{t} be a unipotent flow on Y=G/ΓY=G/\Gamma^{\prime}. Let u~Xt\tilde{u}_{X}^{t}, u~Yt\tilde{u}_{Y}^{t} be time-changes of uXtu_{X}^{t}, uYtu_{Y}^{t} respectively. We show the disjointness (in the sense of Furstenberg) between uXtu_{X}^{t} and u~Yt\tilde{u}_{Y}^{t} (or u~Xt\tilde{u}_{X}^{t} and uYtu_{Y}^{t}) in certain situations. Our method refines the works of Ratner and extends a recent work of Dong, Kanigowski and Wei.
