Titel Global rigidity of abelian Anosov actions
Referent:in, Affiliation Zhiren Wang, Yale University

Ort HG G 43
Abstract As part of a more general conjecture, it was asked if all smooth Anosov $Z^r$-actions without rank-1 factor on tori and nilmanifolds are, up to smooth conjugacy, actions by automorphisms. Recently, Fisher, Kalinin and Spatzier showed this holds under the extra assumption that the action has at least one Anosov element in every Weyl chamber of the linearization action. We will verify that this assumption always holds, hence fully establish the statement above. This is a joint work with Federico Rodriguez Hertz.

Titel Local limit distributions of translated irrational orbits on S-arithmetic homogeneous spaces

Ort HG G 43
Abstract (joint work Tomasz Zamojski, building on a joint work with Nimish Shah) I will describe a recent result on a problem of homogeneous dynamics where one studies the translates, in a lattice space, of an homogeneous orbit, from the point of view of measure theory: the asymptotic distribution of a given sequence of translates. More precisely: what are the possible limit distributions; along which sequences of translates does a limit distribution occur; how explicitly uniform distribution does occur ? This is a critical question in many of the applications of homogeneous dynamics to number theory problems. Thanks to recent technology developed on purpose, we are able to extend classical work of Dani-Margulis and Eskin-Mozes-Shah in several directions together, and to achieve the proof as it was originally meant.

Titel Coexistence phenomena in dynamics
Referent:in, Affiliation Prof. Dr. Yakov Pesin, Penn State University
Datum, Zeit 17. April 2013, 15:45-16:45
Ort HG G 43
Abstract I will describe a very interesting and highly non-trivial phenomenon of essential coexistence of chaotic (highly complicated) and regular (relatively simple) behavior in dynamics. In the absence of general theory, the coexistence phenomenon has been shown in some particular cases. I will present the contemporary state of the art in this area with emphasis on some new examples in smooth conservative dynamics.

Titel Metric embeddings of relatively hyperbolic groups
Referent:in, Affiliation Alessandro Sisto, University of Oxford
Datum, Zeit 15. Mai 2013, 15:45-16:45
Ort HG G 43
Abstract Relatively hyperbolic groups form a rich class of groups containing many examples coming from, e.g., 3-manifolds theory. I will discuss quasi-isometric embeddings of relatively hyperbolic groups in products of trees and a-bit-worse-than-quasi-isometric embeddings into real hyperbolic spaces with a collection of horoballs removed. Based on joint works with John MacKay.

Titel Integer points on spheres and their orthogonal complement

Ort HG G 43
Abstract Consider the collection of all primitive integer vectors in $\mathbb{Z}^d$ of length $\sqrt{D}$. After dividing by $\sqrt{D}$ one gets for $D\to\infty$ an equidistributing family of points on $\mathbb{S}^{d-1}$ (if the set is non-empty and $d>2$.) The hardest case of this statement is the case $d=3$ and was obtained by Duke (after a breakthrough of Iwaniec and initial progress by Linnik). A related question is how the lattice in the orthogonal complement of the vector looks like. W. Schmidt showed that these lattices equidistribute if one considers all vectors up to a particular length (instead of just the vectors of a given length). We will show by using homogeneous dynamics (under mild conditions for $d=3,4,5$ and without additional conditions for $d\geq 6$) that the pair consisting of the normalized primitive vector of length $\sqrt{D}$ and the lattice in the orthogonal complement equidistribute in $\mathbb{S}^{d-1}$ times the moduli space of lattices (up to rotations and scalar multiplication). This is joint work with Menny Aka and Uri Shapira, and is related to a theorem of Mozes and Shah, the higher rank joining theorem by Lindenstrauss and myself, and ongoing joint work with Margulis, Mohammadi, and Venkatesh. As we will see, p-adic dynamics is needed.
