This allows us to give elementary proofs of logarithm laws for horocycle flows on hyperbolic surfaces and moduli spaces of flat surfaces. We also give applications to quantitative equidistribution and Diophantine approximation.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v2", "updated": "2012-04-16T03:16:27.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "cusp excursions", "non-compact parameter spaces", "studying associated discrete sets", "diophantine approximation", "elementary proofs" ], "tags": [ "journal article" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 27, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2011arXiv1104.2797A" } } }
