The repartition of dense orbits of $\textrm{SL}(2,\dr Z)$ in the euclidean plane is described by Ledrappier and Nogueira. We describe here the specific patterns one can see by experimentation, linking it to diophantine approximation theory.
We give upper and lower bounds for Diophantine exponents measuring how well a point in the plane can be approximated by points in the orbit of a lattice $\Gamma<\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{R})$ acting linearly on $\mathbb{R}^2$. Our method gives…
We prove a number field analogue of W. M. Schmidt's conjecture on the intersection of weighted badly approximable vectors and use this to prove an instance of a conjecture of An, Guan and Kleinbock. Namely, let $G := SL_2(\mathbb{R}) \times…
Let $H < G$ both be noncompact connected semisimple real algebraic groups where the former is maximal proper and $\Gamma < G$ be a lattice. Building on the work of Gorodnik-Weiss, we refine their techniques and obtain effective results.…
We show the existence of a dense orbit for real Rel flows on the area-1 locus of every connected component of every stratum of holomorphic 1-forms with at least 2 distinct zeros. For this purpose, we establish a general density criterion…
Let $\Gamma$ be a non-uniform lattice in $\operatorname{PSL}(2,\mathbb R)$. In this note, we show that there exists a constant $\gamma_0>0$ such that for any $0<\gamma<\gamma_0$, any one-parametrer unipotent subgroup $\{u(t)\}_{t\in\mathbb…
We present a new proof of the following theorem of Benoist-Quint: Let $G:=SO^\circ(d,1)$, $d\ge 2$ and $\Delta<G$ a cocompact lattice. Any orbit of a Zariski dense subgroup $\Gamma$ of $G$ is either finite or dense in $\Delta\backslash G$.…
We study the property of uniform discreteness within discrete orbits of non-uniform lattices in $SL_2(\mathbb{R})$, acting on $\mathbb{R}^2$ by linear transformations. We provide quantitative consequences of previous results by using…
We give a simple proof about the topological rigidity of closures of certain sparse unipotent orbits in $G/\Gamma$ where $G=\prod_{i=1}^k\operatorname{SL}_2(\mathbb R)$ and $\Gamma$ is an irreducible lattice in $G$.
Let $X = G/\Gamma$, where $G$ is a Lie group and $\Gamma$ is a lattice in $G$, and let $U$ be a subset of $X$ whose complement is compact. We use the exponential mixing results for diagonalizable flows on $X$ to give upper estimates for the…
Let x be a point in R^2 with irrational slope and let \Gamma denote the lattice SL(2,Z) acting linearly on R^2. Then, the orbit \Gamma x is dense in R^2. We give efective results on the approximation of a point y in R^2 by points of the…
We discuss recent quantitative results in connexion with Kronecker's theorem on the density of subgroups in R^n and with Dani and Raghavan's theorem on the density of orbits in the spaces of frames. We also propose several related problems.…
Given for instance a finite volume negatively curved Riemannian manifold $M$, we give a precise relation between the logarithmic growth rates of the excursions into cusps neighborhoods of the strong unstable leaves of negatively recurrent…
We prove analogs of the logarithm laws of Sullivan and Kleinbock-Margulis in the context of unipotent flows. In particular, we prove results for horospherical actions on homogeneous spaces $G/\Gamma$. We describe some relations with…
Recent years have seen very important developments at the interface of Diophantine approximation and homogeneous dynamics. In the first part of the paper we give a brief exposition of a dictionary developed by Dani and Kleinbock-Margulis…
We prove two generalizations of Furstenberg's Diophantine result regarding density of an orbit of an irrational point in the one-torus under the action of multiplication by a non-lacunary multiplicative semi-group of $\mathbb{N}$. We show…
In this paper, we will prove an effective version of Ratner's equidistribution theorem for unipotent orbits in $\mathrm{SL}(3,\mathbb{R})/\mathrm{SL}(3,\mathbb{Z})$ with a natural Diophantine condition.
We give new classes of examples of orbits of the diagonal group in the space of unit volume lattices in R^d for d > 2 with nice (homogeneous) orbit closures, as well as examples of orbits with explicitly computable but irregular orbit…
Let $G=$SL$(2,R)\ltimes(R^2)^{\oplus k}$ and let $\Gamma$ be a congruence subgroup of SL$(2,Z)\ltimes(Z^2)^{\oplus k}$. We prove a polynomially effective asymptotic equidistribution result for special types of unipotent orbits in…
We construct cocycles in $\mathbb{T} \times SU(2)$ over Diophantine rotations that are minimal and not uniquely ergodic. Such cocycles are dense in an open subset of cocycles over the fixed Diophantine rotation. By a standard argument, they…
