A higher moment formula for the Siegel-Veech transform over quotients by Hecke triangle groups (Q2035107)

One can begin with author's description of this research: `` We compute higher moments of the Siegel-Veech transform over quotients of \(\mathrm{SL}(2, \mathbb R)\) by the Hecke triangle groups. After fixing a normalization of the Haar measure on \(\mathrm{SL}(2, \mathbb R)\) we use geometric results and linear algebra to create explicit integration formulas which give information about densities of \(k\)-tuples of vectors in discrete subsets of \(\mathbb R^2\) which arise as orbits of Hecke triangle groups. This generalizes work of W. Schmidt on the variance of the Siegel transform over \(\mathrm{SL}(2, \mathbb R)/ \mathrm{SL}(2, \mathbb Z)\).'' Such notions as the Siegel-Veech transform, the Hecke triangle group, the \(q\)-geometric Euler totient function, a translation surface, etc., are explained. A brief survey is devoted to results in ``the geometry of numbers, followed by background on translation surfaces, Veech groups, and the \(q\)-geometric Euler totient function''. Several auxiliary statements are proven. Also, the special attention is given to the problem how to interpret the second main theorem of this paper in terms of a counting problem. This discussion is described with explanations and figures.
