Abstract
Objective
ContentWe will continue developing homogeneous dynamics with the aim to see several cases of Ratner’s theorems, further measure rigidity results for diagonalisable flows (Einsiedler-Katok-Lindenstrauss) and measure rigidity results for random walks on homogeneous spaces (Benoit-Quint). For this some more tools that were not developed in the first semester have to be introduced along the way, in particular conditional measures, entropy theory, and leafwise measures. We will also discuss a few of the applications of these theorems to Diophantine approximation or other areas of number theory.
Prerequisites / NoticeDoctoral students may receive 3 credits for the course and should be able to follow even without the first semester. For receiving the credits a presentation is required.
