Mean value theorems for the S-arithmetic primitive Siegel transforms

Number Theory 2025-07-15 v5

Abstract

We develop the theory and properties of primitive unimodular SS-arithmetic lattices in QSd\mathbb{Q}_S^d by giving integral formulas in the spirit of Siegel's primitive mean value formula and Rogers' and Schmidt's second moment formulas. When d=2d=2, unlike in the real case, functions arising from the SS-primitive Siegel transform are unbounded, requiring a careful analysis to establish their integrability. We then use mean value and second moment formulas in three applications. First, we obtain quantitative estimates for counting primitive SS-arithmetic lattice points. We next establish a quantitative Khintchine--Groshev theorem, which, in the real case, involves counting primitive integer points in Zd\mathbb{Z}^d subject to congruence conditions. Finally, we derive an SS-arithmetic logarithm law for unipotent flows in the spirit of Athreya--Margulis. These applications follow the spirit of the real case, but require new technical aspects of the proofs, particularly when d=2d=2.
