Translates of rational points along expanding closed horocycles on the modular surface

Abstract: We study the limiting distribution of the rational points under a horizontal translation along a sequence of expanding closed horocycles on the modular surface. Using spectral methods we confirm equidistribution of these sample points for any translate when the sequence of horocycles expands within a certain polynomial range. We show that the equidistribution fails for generic translates and a slightly faster expanding rate. We also prove both equidistribution and non-equidistribution results by obtaining expl… Show more

“…distribution of this sequence in not Poissonian (see also Remark 1.6), which contrasts with the conjectured gap distribution of the fractional parts of n α for any other α ∈ (0, 1) \ { 1 2 }. In our case, if we instead considered the fractional parts of n α for α ∈ (0, 1) \ { 1 2 }, we would expect Poissonian pigeonhole statistics in the sense that the corresponding limiting distribution functions E j (s) would equal s j e −j /j !. This contrasts with the case α = 1 2 , as shown in Figure 1.…”
