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 $G/\\Gamma$. We also derive an application to jointly Dirichlet-Improvable systems of linear forms.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-07-26T19:13:07.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "37A17", "37A25", "11J13" ], "keywords": [ "diagonalizable flows", "dimension drop", "homogeneous spaces", "semisimple lie groups", "hausdorff dimension strictly smaller" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 33, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
