Homogeneous orbit closures and applications
From MaRDI portal
Abstract: We give new classes of examples of orbits of the diagonal group in the space of unit volume lattices in R^d for d > 2 with nice (homogeneous) orbit closures, as well as examples of orbits with explicitly computable but irregular orbit closures. We give Diophantine applications to the former, for instance we show that if x is the cubic root of 2 then for any y,z in R liminf |n|<nx-y><nx^2-z>=0 (as |n| goes to infinity), where <c> denotes the distance of a real number c to the integers.
For \(d\geq 3\), let \(X_d = SL_d(\mathbb Z)\backslash SL_d(\mathbb R)\) and \(A\) be the group of diagonal elements in \(SL_d(\mathbb R)\) with nonnegative entries. By a famous conjecture of Margulis, every bounded \(A\)-orbit in \(X_d\) is expected to be periodic. The authors provide explicit constructions of new examples of \(A\)-regular points of periodic type as well as of \(A\)-irregular points. Moreover, they provide applications to Diophantine approximations of algebraic numbers.
