Review text

This note surveys some of the relations between ergodic theory and the theory of Lie groups. As being written for algebraists its emphasis lies on a readable exposition of some results concerning ergodic properties of actions on homogeneous quadratic forms (e.g. Davenport's conjecture) are dealt with. Further relations between ergodic theory and Lie groups are e.g. questions on the rigidity of discrete subgroups or finiteness of quotient groups are covered in the author's book ``Discrete Subgroups of Semisimple Lie groups [Springer, Berlin-Heidelberg-New York (1991; Zbl 0732.22008), Ergebnisse Mathematik 3. Folge, Bd. 17].
