Birkhoff genericity on affine subspaces in horospheres
Abstract
We study Birkhoff genericity for a simple uniformly expanding diagonal flow on $\mathrm{SL}_{n+1}(\mathbb R)/\mathrm{SL}_{n+1}(\mathbb Z)$, with initial points restricted to affine subspaces of the expanding horospherical orbit through the identity coset. We prove that almost every point on such an affine subspace is Birkhoff generic, except possibly in two situations: either the defining matrix of the affine subspace has Diophantine exponent at least $n$, or the affine subspace is arbitrarily well approximable by affine subspaces of dimension $(r-1)$ defined over a real number field of degree $m\ge 2$, with $n+1=mr$. As applications, we obtain Dirichlet non-improvability and logarithmic density results for almost every point on these affine subspaces.
