Dimension bounds for escape on average in homogeneous spaces

Let $X = G/Γ$, where $G$ is a Lie group and $Γ$ is a uniform lattice in $G$, and let $O$ be an open subset of $X$. We give an upper estimate for the Hausdorff dimension of the set of points whose trajectories escape $O$ on average with frequency $δ$, where $0 < δ\le 1$.

Dimension drop for diagonalizable flows on homogeneous spaces

Let $X = G/Γ$, where $G$ is a Lie group and $Γ$ is a lattice in $G$, let $O$ be an open subset of $X$, and let $F = \{g_t: t\ge 0\}$ be a one-parameter subsemigroup of $G$. Consider the set of points in $X$ whose $F$-orbit misses $O$; it has measure zero if the flow is ergodic. It has been conjectured that this set has Hausdorff dimension strictly smaller than the dimension of $X$. This conjecture is proved when $X$ is compact or when $G$ is a simple Lie group of real rank $1$, or, most recently, for certain special flows on the space of lattices. In this paper we prove this conjecture for arbitrary $\operatorname{Ad}$-diagonalizable flows on irreducible quotients of semisimple Lie groups. The proof uses exponential mixing of the flow together with the method of integral inequalities for height functions on $G/Γ$. We also derive an application to jointly Dirichlet-Improvable systems of linear forms.

On the dimension drop conjecture for diagonal flows on the space of lattices

Let $X = G/Γ$, where $G$ is a Lie group and $Γ$ is a lattice in $G$, let $U$ be an open subset of $X$, and let $\{g_t\}$ be a one-parameter subgroup of $G$. Consider the set of points in $X$ whose $g_t$-orbit misses $U$; it has measure zero if the flow is ergodic. It has been conjectured that this set has Hausdorff dimension strictly smaller than the dimension of $X$. This conjecture has been proved when $X$ is compact or when $G$ is a simple Lie group of real rank $1$. In this paper we prove this conjecture for the case $G=\textrm{SL}_{m+n}(\mathbb{R})$, $Γ=\textrm{SL}_{m+n}(\mathbb{Z})$ and $g_t=\textrm{diag} (e^{nt}, \dots, e^{nt},e^{-mt}, \dots, e^{-mt})$, in fact providing an effective estimate for the codimension. The proof uses exponential mixing of the flow together with the method of integral inequalities for height functions on $\textrm{SL}_{m+n}(\mathbb{R})/\textrm{SL}_{m+n}(\mathbb{Z})$. We also discuss an application to the problem of improving Dirichlet's theorem in simultaneous Diophantine approximation.

Dimension estimates for the set of points with non-dense orbit in homogeneous spaces

Let $X = G/Γ$, where $G$ is a Lie group and $Γ$ is a lattice in $G$, and let $U$ be a subset of $X$ whose complement is compact. We use the exponential mixing results for diagonalizable flows on $X$ to give upper estimates for the Hausdorff dimension of the set of points whose trajectories miss $U$. This extends a recent result of Kadyrov and produces new applications to Diophantine approximation, such as an upper bound for the Hausdorff dimension of the set of weighted uniformly badly approximable systems of linear forms, generalizing an estimate due to Broderick and Kleinbock.

Exceptional directions for the Teichmüller geodesic flow and Hausdorff dimension

We prove that for every flat surface $ω$, the Hausdorff dimension of the set of directions in which Teichmüller geodesics starting from $ω$ exhibit a definite amount of deviation from the correct limit in Birkhoff's and Oseledets' Theorems is strictly less than $1$. This theorem extends a result by Chaika and Eskin where they proved that such sets have measure $0$. We also prove that the Hausdorff dimension of the directions in which Teichmüller geodesics diverge on average in a stratum is bounded above by $1/2$, strengthening a classical result due to Masur. Moreover, we show that the Hausdorff codimension of the set of non-weakly mixing IETs with permutation $(d, d-1, \dots, 1)$, where $d$ is an odd number, is exactly $1/2$ and strengthen a result by Avila and Leguil.
