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…

We prove a general theorem on the existence of heteroclinic orbits in Hilbert spaces, and present a method to reduce the solutions of some P.D.E. problems to such orbits. In our first application, we give a new proof in a slightly more…

Let $u_n$ be a fixed non-degenerate binary recurrence sequence with positive discriminant, $w$ a fixed non-zero integer and $p_1,p_2,\dots,p_s$ fixed, distinct prime numbers. In this paper we consider the Diophantine equation $u_n+u_m=w…

We study the Diophantine problem (decidability of finite systems of equations) in different classes of finitely generated solvable groups (nilpotent, polycyclic, metabelian, free solvable, etc), which satisfy some natural…

For the space of unimodular lattices in a Euclidean space, we give necessary and sufficient conditions for equidistribution of expanding translates of any real-analytic submanifold under a diagonal flow. This extends the earlier result of…

Let $G$ be a semisimple Lie group without compact factor and $\Gamma < G$ a torsion-free, cocompact, irreducible lattice. According to Selberg, periodic orbits of regular Weyl chamber flows live on maximal flat periodic tori of the space of…

In this paper, we mainly answer a Lampe's question\cite{lampe} about the solutions of a Diophantine equation, that is, we give a criterion to determine which solutions of the Diophantine equation are in the orbit of the initial solution…

We study distribution of orbits of a lattice \Gamma<SL(n,R) in the the space V_{n,l} of l-frames in R^n (1\le l\le n-1). Examples of dense \Gamma-orbits are known from the work of Dani, Raghavan, and Veech. We show that dense orbits of…

We announce and outline a proof of the existence of a homoclinic orbit of the Lorenz equations. In addition, we develop a shooting technique and two key conditions, which lead to the existence of a one-to-one correspondence between a set of…

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 obtain the equivariant K-homology of the classifying space \underline{E}SL(3,Z) from the computation of its Bredon homology with respect to finite subgroups and coefficients in the representation ring. We also obtain the corresponding…

In this work, we study the asymptotic distribution of the non discrete orbits of a finitely generated group acting linearly on $\R^2$. To do this, we establish new equidistribution results for the horocyclic flow on the unitary tangent…

For $n=3$, 4, and 5, we prove that, when $S_n$-number fields of degree $n$ are ordered by their absolute discriminants, the lattice shapes of the rings of integers in these fields become equidistributed in the space of lattices.

We apply the effective field theory approach to the three-nucleon system. In particular, we consider neutron-deuteron scattering and the triton. Precise predictions for S=3/2 scattering are obtained in a straightforward way. In the S=1/2…

We prove over fields of power series the analogues of several Diophantine approximation results obtained over the field of real numbers. In particular we establish the power series analogue of Kronecker's theorem for matrices, together with…
