Has dynamics on $G/\Gamma$ ever been used to prove interesting things about $\Gamma$?

Fix a Lie group $G$ and a discrete subgroup $\Gamma \subset G$. Homogeneous dynamics is about studying the actions of subgroups $H \subset G$ on the quotient $G/\Gamma$. Does anyone know of an ...

Ergodicity of the action of $\operatorname{SL}(n,\mathbb R)$ on $\operatorname{SL}(n,\mathbb R)/\operatorname{SL}(n,\mathbb Z)$

$\DeclareMathOperator\SL{SL}$Let $G\mathrel{:=}\SL(n,\mathbb R)$ and $\Gamma\mathrel{:=}\SL(n,\mathbb Z)$. Consider the action of $G$ on $(G/\Gamma,\mu)$ by left translation, where $\mu$ is the Borel ...

The Hausdorff codimension of singular matrices vs. the Hausdorff codimension of points with divergent trajectories

Let $G:=SL(m+n,\mathbb R)$ and $\Gamma :=SL(m+n,\mathbb Z)$ and $X:=G/\Gamma$. (1) Let $M$ denote the set of all $m \times n$ matrices with real entries. A matrix $A \in M$ is called $\textit{singular}...

The closure of the orbit of an irrational grid contains the fiber

Let $G=\text{SL}(d,\mathbb R)$ and $\Gamma = \text{SL}(d,\mathbb Z)$. The homogeneous space is identified with the space of unimodular lattices, denoted $X_d$. Let $Y_d$ denote the space of unimodular ...

Properties of the orbit $Abx_0$ when $b$ is upper or lower triangular but not diagonal

Let $G=\text{SL}(d,\mathbb R)$ and $\Gamma = \text{SL}(d,\mathbb Z)$. The homogeneous space is identified with the space of unimodular lattices, denoted $X_d$. Let $A$ denote the subgroup of $G$ ...

Local decomposition of semisimple Lie groups at the identity into the product of centralizer, unstable and stable horospherical subgroups

First let us look at an example. Let $G=\text{SL}(d,\mathbb R)$ and $A$ be its subgroup consisting of diagonal matrices with positive entries. Let $a\in A$ be an element. We define the stable ...
