We prove Sarnak's M\"obius disjointness conjecture for all unipotent translations on homogeneous spaces of real connected Lie groups. Namely, we show that if $G$ is any such group, $\Gamma\subset G$ a lattice, and $u\in G$ an Ad-unipotent…
Let $M_n$ be a class of symmetric sparse random matrices, with independent entries $M_{ij} = \delta_{ij} \xi_{ij}$ for $i \leq j$. $\delta_{ij}$ are i.i.d. Bernoulli random variables taking the value $1$ with probability $p \geq…
This paper generalizes the result of Sarnak and Ubis \cite{sarnak-ubis} about non-concentration of primes in horocycle orbits on $PSL_2(\mathbb{Z}) \backslash PSL_2(\mathbb{R})$ to any lattice in $PSL_2(\mathbb{R})$. The proof combines the…
