The distribution of geodesic excursions out the end of a hyperbolic orbifold and approximation with respect to a Fuchsian group (Q2490386)

From the summary: A generic geodesic on a finite area, noncompact surface with a hyperbolic orbifold structure travels densely about the surface, making excursions out the non-compact end and then returning to a compact piece of the surface. We show that for almost all geodesics on such a surface there is a limiting distribution for the sequence of depths of the excursions out a noncompact end. The distribution is independent of the surface and closely resembles the distribution arising from a sequence of continued fraction approximations in the metrical theory of diophantine approximations.
