    A quantitative version of the Oppenheim conjecture for inhomogeneous quadratic forms is proved. We also give an application to eigenvalue spacing on flat 2-tori with Aharonov-Bohm flux

    Logarithm laws for flows on homogeneous spaces

    Full text link
    We prove that almost all geodesics on a noncompact locally symmetric space of finite volume grow with a logarithmic speed -- the higher rank generalization of a theorem of D. Sullivan (1982). More generally, under certain conditions on a sequence of subsets AnA_n of a homogeneous space G/ΓG/\Gamma (GG a semisimple Lie group, Γ\Gamma a non-uniform lattice) and a sequence of elements fnf_n of GG we prove that for almost all points xx of the space, one has fnxAnf_n x\in A_n for infinitely many nn. The main tool is exponential decay of correlation coefficients of smooth functions on G/ΓG/\Gamma. Besides the aforementioned application to geodesic flows, as a corollary we obtain a new proof of the classical Khinchin-Groshev theorem in simultaneous Diophantine approximation, and settle a related conjecture recently made by M.

    Khintchine-type theorems on manifolds: the convergence case for standard and multiplicative versions

    An analogue of the convergence part of the Khintchine-Groshev theorem, as well as its multiplicative version, is proved for nondegenerate smooth submanifolds in Rn\mathbb{R}^n. The proof combines methods from metric number theory with a new approach involving the geometry of lattices in Euclidean spaces.Comment: 27 page
