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 $G$ ...

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 ...

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 ...

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}...

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 ...

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 ...
