Discrete groups acting on homogeneous spaces I
[ 講演概要 ]
In this course I will focus on recent advances
on our understanding of discrete subgroups of Lie groups.

I will first survey how ideas from semisimple algebraic groups,
ergodic theory and representation theory help us to understand properties of these discrete subgroups.

I will then focus on a joint work with Jean-Francois Quint
studying the dynamics of these discrete subgroups on finite volume homogeneous spaces and proving the following result:

We fix two integral matrices A and B of size d, of determinant 1,
and such that no finite union of vector subspaces is invariant by A and B.
We fix also an irrational point on the d-dimensional torus. We will then prove that for n large the set of images of this point by the words in A and B of length at most n becomes equidistributed in the torus.
