We study the equidistribution of orbits of the form $b_1^{a_1(n)}... b_k^{a_k(n)}\Gamma$ in a nilmanifold $X$, where the sequences $a_i(n)$ arise from smooth functions of polynomial growth belonging to a Hardy field. We show that under…

We study equidistribution properties of translations on nilmanifolds along functions of polynomial growth from a Hardy field. More precisely, if $X=G/\Gamma$ is a nilmanifold, $a_1,\ldots,a_k\in G$ are commuting nilrotations, and…

A theorem of Leibman asserts that a polynomial orbit $(g(1),g(2),g(3),\ldots)$ on a nilmanifold $G/\Gamma$ is always equidistributed in a union of closed sub-nilmanifolds of $G/\Gamma$. In this paper we give a quantitative version of…

Let $X$ be a proper, geodesically complete Hadamard space, and $\ \Gamma<\mbox{Is}(X)$ a discrete subgroup of isometries of $X$ with the fixed point of a rank one isometry of $X$ in its infinite limit set. In this paper we prove that if…
