We investigate analogues of some of the classical results in homogeneous dynamics in non-linear setting. Let $G$ be a closed subgroup of the group of automorphisms of a biregular tree and $\Gamma<G$ a discrete subgroup. For a large class of…
For any non-uniform lattice $\Gamma $ in $SL(2,R)$, we describe the limit distribution of orthogonal translates of a divergent geodesic in $\Gamma \backslash SL(2,R)$. As an application, for a quadratic form $Q$ of signature $(2,1)$, a…
Let X be a symmetric space of noncompact type and \Gamma a lattice in the isometry group of X. We study the distribution of orbits of \Gamma acting on the symmetric space X and its geometric boundary X(\infty). More precisely, for any y in…
Let $G$ be a simply connected, solvable Lie group and $\Gamma$ a lattice in $G$. The deformation space $\mathcal{D}(\Gamma,G)$ is the orbit space associated to the action of $\Aut(G)$ on the space $\mathcal{X}(\Gamma,G)$ of all lattice…
Let $(W,S)$ be a Coxeter system with Davis complex $\Sigma$. The polyhedral automorphism group $G$ of $\Sigma$ is a locally compact group under the compact-open topology. If $G$ is a discrete group (as characterised by Haglund--Paulin),…
This paper deals with the $\Gamma$-lattice points problem associated to a discrete subgroup of motions $\Gamma$ in the complex hyperbolic space $\mathbb{C} H^n$. We give two integral formulas for the local average of the number $N(T, z,…

We study lattice embeddings for the class of countable groups $\Gamma$ defined by the property that the largest amenable uniformly recurrent subgroup $A_\Gamma$ is continuous. When $A_\Gamma$ comes from an extremely proximal action and the…
In the present article we study the following problem. Let G be a linear algebraic group over Q, $\Gamma$ be an arithmetic lattice and H be an observable Q-subgroup. There is a H-invariant measure $\mu_H$ supported on the closed submanifold…
The present paper establishes upper and lower bounds on the speed of approximation in a wide range of natural Diophantine approximation problems. The upper and lower bounds coincide in many cases, giving rise to optimal results in…
Let $\Gamma$ be a lattice of a semisimple Lie group $L$. Suppose that one parameter Ad-diagonalizable subgroup $\{g_t\}$ of $L$ acts ergodically on $L/\Gamma$ with respect to the probability Haar measure $\mu$. For certain proper subgroup…
This note provides new criteria on a unimodular group $G$ and a discrete series representation $(\pi, \mathcal{H}_{\pi})$ of formal degree $d_{\pi} > 0$ under which any lattice $\Gamma \leq G$ with $\text{vol}(G/\Gamma) d_{\pi} \leq 1$…
Let $\Sigma$ be the Davis complex for a Coxeter system (W,S). The automorphism group G of $\Sigma$ is naturally a locally compact group, and a simple combinatorial condition due to Haglund--Paulin determines when G is nondiscrete. The…
We consider a connected symplectic manifold $M$ acted on properly and in a Hamiltonian fashion by a connected Lie group $G$. Inspired to the recent paper \cite{gb2}, see also \cite{ch} and \cite{pacini}, we study Lagrangian orbits of…
Let $\Gamma$ be a lattice in a simply connected nilpotent Lie group $G$. Given an infinite measure preserving action $T$ of $\Gamma$ and a "direction" in $G$ (i.e. an element $\theta$ of the projective space $P(\goth g)$ of the Lie algebra…
We consider compact locally symmetric spaces $\Gamma\backslash G/H$ where $G/H$ is a non-compact semisimple symmetric space and $\Gamma$ is a discrete subgroup of $G$. We discuss some features of the joint spectrum of the (commutative)…
In a previous paper {GN2} an effective solution of the lattice point counting problem in general domains in semisimple S-algebraic groups and affine symmetric varieties was established. The method relies on the mean ergodic theorem for the…
First let $G$ be a completely solvable Lie group. We recall the proof of the following result: Any closed subgroup of $G$ possesses a unique syndetic hull in $G$. As a consequence we conclude that any uniform subgroup $\Gamma$ of $G$ is…
Every lattice H in a connected semi-simple Lie group G acts properly discontinuously by isometries on the contractible manifold G/K (K a maximal compact subgroup of G). We prove that if H acts on a contractible manifold W and if either 1)…
$ $Abert, Gelander and Nikolov [AGN17] conjectured that the number of generators $d(\Gamma)$ of a lattice $\Gamma$ in a high rank simple Lie group $H$ grows sub-linearly with $v = \mu(H / \Gamma)$, the co-volume of $\Gamma$ in $H$. We prove…
