Differential Geometry Seminar | Limit theorems on nilpotent Lie groups

Time:2023-12-12, Tuesday 21:00 - 22:00

Venue:Zoom Meeting ID: 271 534 5558 Passcode: YMSC

Organizer:Jialong Deng, Akito Futaki

Speaker:Timothée Bénard Warwick Mathematic Institute

Abstract:

I will present limit theorems for random walks on nilpotent Lie groups, obtained in a recent work with Emmanuel Breuillard. Most works on the topic assumed the step distribution of the walk to be centered in the abelianization of the group. Our main contribution is to authorize non-centered step distributions. In this case, new phenomena emerge: the large-scale geometry of the walk depends on the increment average, and the limit measure in the central limit theorem may not have full support in the ambient group.

      Asymptotics and limit theorems for horocycle ergodic integrals à la Ratner

      AbstractIn this talk I will present a simple method, inspired by the works of Ratner and Burger, to study ergodic integrals for the classical horocycle flow. The asymptotic expansion we can prove following this approach is a strengthening of the result by Flaminio and Forni in two ways: the coefficients in the expansion are shown to be Hölder continuous with respect to the base point and the te...
