Abstract

We study slow entropy invariants for abelian unipotent actions UU on any finite volume homogeneous space G/ΓG/\Gamma. For every such action we show that the topological slow entropy can be computed directly from the dimension of a special decomposition of Lie(G)\operatorname{Lie}(G) induced by Lie(U)\operatorname{Lie}(U). Moreover, we are able to show that the metric slow entropy of the action coincides with its topological slow entropy. As a corollary, we obtain that the complexity of any abelian horocyclic action is only related to the dimension of GG. This generalizes the rank one results from [A. Kanigowski, K. Vinhage, D. Wei, Commun. Math. Phys. 370 (2019), no. 2, 449-474.] to higher rank abelian actions.
