We give an effective bound on how much time orbits of a unipotent group $U$ on an arithmetic quotient $G/\Gamma$ can stay near homogeneous subvarieties of $G /\Gamma$ corresponding to $\mathbb Q$-subgroups of $G$. In particular, we show…
The purpose of this article is to describe and characterize the limit distributions of translates of a bounded open "piece of orbit" of a reductive subgroup on a space of S-arithmetic lattices. This is accomplished under a mild assumption…
We prove effective equidistribution theorems, with polynomial error rate, for orbits of the unipotent subgroups of $\operatorname{SL}_2(\mathbb R)$ in arithmetic quotients of $\operatorname{SL}_2(\mathbb C)$ and $\operatorname{SL}_2(\mathbb…
We establish an analogue of Ratner's orbit closure theorem for any connected closed subgroup generated by unipotent elements in $\operatorname{SO}(d,1)$ acting on the space $\Gamma\backslash \operatorname{SO}(d,1)$, assuming that the…

We prove an effective density theorem with polynomial error rate for orbits of upper triangular subgroup of $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{Q}_p)$ in $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{Q}_p) \times \mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{Q}_p)$ for prime number $p > 3$. The…
Let $f$ be a transcendental entire function. By a result of Rippon and Stallard, there exist points whose orbit escapes arbitrarily slowly. By using a range of techniques to prove new covering results, we extend their theorem to prove the…
We define a natural topology on the collection of (equivalence classes up to scaling of) locally finite measures on a homogeneous space and prove that in this topology, pushforwards of certain infinite volume orbits equidistribute in the…
In this paper we develope a quantitative non-divergence theorem for translates of horospherical orbits, using the technique of Margulis' inequality as developed by Eskin-Margulis-Mozes and Eskin-Margulis. As we use the Margulis' inequality,…
We treat the topic of the closures of the nilpotent orbits of the Lie algebras of Exceptional groups through their descriptions as moduli spaces, in terms of Hilbert series and the highest weight generating functions for their…
We prove effective equidistribution, with polynomial rate, for large closed orbits of semisimple groups on homogeneous spaces, under certain technical restrictions (notably, the acting group should have finite centralizer in the ambient…
We show that there are infinitely many counterexamples to Minkowski's conjecture in positive characteristic regarding uniqueness of the upper bound of the multiplicative covering radius, $\mu$, by constructing a sequence of compact $A$…
We prove the following conjecture of Margulis. Let $G$ be a higher rank simple Lie group and let $\Lambda\le G$ be a discrete subgroup of infinite covolume. Then, the locally symmetric space $\Lambda\backslash G/K$ admits injected balls of…
We study upper bounds, approximations, and limits for functions of motivic exponential class, uniformly in non-Archimedean local fields whose characteristic is $0$ or sufficiently large. Our results together form a flexible framework for…
For a family of weight functions invariant under a finite reflection group, the boundedness of a maximal function on the unit sphere is established and used to prove a multiplier theorem for the orthogonal expansions with respect to the…
We prove that a bounded linear Hilbert space operator has the unit circle in its essential approximate point spectrum if and only if it admits an orbit satisfying certain orthogonality and almost-orthogonality relations. This result is…
In this paper, we prove a quantitative version of the Oppenheim conjecture for indefinite ternary quadratic forms: for any indefinite irrational ternary quadratic form $Q$ that is not extremely well approxiable by rational forms, and for…
We prove bounds for the covering numbers of classes of convex functions and convex sets in Euclidean space. Previous results require the underlying convex functions or sets to be uniformly bounded. We relax this assumption and replace it…
Let G=SL(n,R) with n>5. We construct examples of lattices Gamma of G, subgroup A of the diagonal group and points x in G/Gamma such that the closure of the orbit Ax is not homogeneous but does not factors through the action of a…
We establish finiteness of low-dimensional actions of lattices in higher-rank semisimple Lie groups and establish Zimmer's conjecture for many such groups. This builds on previous work of the authors handling the case of actions by…
