Abstract: We prove mean and pointwise ergodic theorems for the action of a discrete lattice subgroup in a connected algebraic Lie group, on infinite volume homogeneous algebraic varieties. Under suitable necessary conditions, our results are quantitative, namely we establish rates of convergence in the mean and pointwise ergodic theorems, which can be estimated explicitly. Our results give a precise and in most cases optimal quantitative form to the duality principle governing dynamics on homogeneous spaces. We illustrate their scope in a variety of equidistribution problems.


The aim of the present paper is to prove mean and pointwise ergodic theorems for an extensive family of actions of lattices on infinite-volume homogeneous spaces. In particular, the authors manage to provide general results which describe the distribution of lattice orbits on the de-Sitter space including rates of convergence in the mean and pointwise ergodic theorems that can be estimated explicitly by giving an optimal quantitative form to the duality principle following dynamics on homogeneous spaces.
