Abstract: Let

G

be a connected semisimple real algebraic group, and

G a m m a < G

be a Zariski dense Anosov subgroup with respect to a minimal parabolic subgroup. We describe the asymptotic behavior of matrix coefficients

l a n g l e (e x p t v) . f_{1}, f_{2} a n g l e

in

as

t o i n f t y

for any

and any vector

v

in the interior of the limit cone of

G a m m a

. These asymptotics involve higher rank analogues of Burger-Roblin measures which are introduced in this paper. As an application, for any affine symmetric subgroup

H

of

G

, we obtain a bisector counting result for

G a m m a

-orbits with respect to the corresponding generalized Cartan decomposition of

G

. Moreover, we obtain analogues of the results of Duke-Rudnick-Sarnak and Eskin-McMullen for counting discrete

G a m m a

-orbits in affine symmetric spaces

.

Review text

Decay of correlations of \(L^2\) functions on a homogeneous space has been extensively studied and finds wide applications in equidistribution and lattice point counting problems. Here decay of matric coefficients in \(L^2(\Gamma\backslash G)\) for a connected semi-simple real algebraic group \(G\) and a Zariski dense Anosov subgroup \(\Gamma\) with respect to a minimal parabolic subgroup. Writing \(G=K\cdot\exp(\mathfrak{a}^+)\cdot K\) for a Cartan decomposition of \(G\), where \(K\) is a maximal compact subgroup, \(\mathfrak{a}^{+}\) is positive Weyl chamber of the Lie algebra of a maximal split torus \(\mathfrak{a}\) with centralizer \(M\) in \(K\). Higher rank analogues of Burger-Roblin measures \(m^{\mathrm{BR}}\), \(m^{\mathrm{BR}_{*}}\) on \(\Gamma\backslash G\) are defined here and the main result is that for any \(u\) in the interior of the limit cone of \(\Gamma\) in \(\mathfrak{a}^{+}\) and \(f_1,f_2\in C_c(\Gamma\backslash G)^M\) we have \( t^{(r-1)/2}{\mathrm{e}}^{t(2\rho-\psi_{\Gamma})(u)} \int_{\Gamma\backslash G} f_1(x\cdot\exp(tu))f_2(x){\mathrm{d}}x \to \kappa_u m_{i(u)}^{\mathrm{BR}}(f_1)m_{u}^{\mathrm{BR}_{*}}(f_2) \) as \(t\to\infty\) for some \(\kappa_u>0\), where \(2\rho\) is the sum of positive roots with respect to \(\mathfrak{a}^{+}\), \(r\) is the real rank of \(G\) and \(\psi_{\Gamma}\) is the growth indicator function on \(\mathfrak{a}^{+}\). Equidistribution results for translates of maximal horospheres in \(\Gamma\backslash G\) are obtained and these results are applied to several lattice point counting problems.
