Uniformly distributed orbits of certain flows on homogeneous spaces

From MaRDI portal





We prove a result on the distribution of orbits of regular unipotent flows on homogeneous spaces of the form G/\(\Gamma\), where G is a connected reductive Lie group and \(\Gamma\) is a lattice in G. Together with a result of M. Ratner on the classification of invariant measures of unipotent flows, it enables us to describe geometrically the set of points whose orbits under such a flow are uniformly distributed with respect to a G-invariant measure. In particular this leads to verification of Raghunathan's conjecture on orbit closures and an analogous conjecture on the distribution of orbits, for regular unipotent flows, when either G/\(\Gamma\) is compact or the \({\mathbb{R}}\)-rank of [G,G] is 1.
