Bounded orbits of diagonalizable flows on finite volume quotients of products of \(\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{R})\) (Q2324578): Difference between revisions

The authors give the following short description of the present research: ``We prove a number field analogue of a result of C. McMullen that the set of badly approximable numbers is absolute winning. We also prove a weighted version. We use this to prove an instance of a conjecture of \textit{J. An} et al. [Int. Math. Res. Not. 2015, No. 24, 13623--13652 (2015; Zbl 1387.11044)]. Namely, let \(G := \mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb R) \times \cdots \times\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb R)\) and \(\Gamma\) be a lattice in \(G\). We show that the set of points on \(G/\Gamma\) whose orbits under a one parameter Ad-semisimple subgroup of \(G\) are bounded, form a \textit{hyperplane absolute winning set}.'' The present investigations connected with a statement that ``the study of bounded orbits of diagonalizable flows on homogeneous spaces is intimately related to the study of badly approximable numbers or matrices'' (see references in this paper). Several remarks about presented results and their connections with some known results are given. The authors note `` that in contrast to one dimensional badly approximable numbers, the number field case is richer and allows for the study of weighted approximation. In this sense, the number field case possesses some features of the high dimensional problem''. The notions of the hyperplane absolute game and the hyperplane potential game (certain variants of Schmidt games) are considered. The attention is given to hyperplane potential winning sets and hyperplane absolute winning sets. One can note such techniques as ``the Dani correspondence'', the structure theory of Lie groups, and Margulis arithmeticity theorem among techniques which the authors used for proving the main results.
