Geodesic Cusp Excursions and Metric Diophantine Approximation
نویسنده
چکیده
We derive several results that describe the rate at which a generic geodesic makes excursions into and out of a cusp on a finite area hyperbolic surface and relate them to approximation with respect to the orbit of infinity for an associated Fuchsian group. This provides proofs of some well known theorems from metric diophantine approximation in the context of Fuchsian groups. It also gives new results in the classical setting.

The Rate of Geodesic Cusp Excursions and Approximation by Rationals
We derive several results that describe the rate at which a generic geodesic makes excursions into and out of a cusp on a finite area hyperbolic surface and relate them to approximation with respect to the orbit of infinity for an associated Fuchsian group. This provides proofs of some well known theorems from metric diophantine approximation in the context of Fuchsian groups. It also gives new...
متن کاملLogarithm laws for strong unstable foliations in negative curvature and non-Archimedian Diophantine approximation
Given a finite volume negatively curved Riemannian manifoldM , we give a precise relation between the logarithmic growth rates of the excursions of the strong unstable leaves of negatively recurrent unit tangent vectors into cusp neighborhoods of M and their linear divergence rates under the geodesic flow. Our results hold in the more general setting where M is the quotient of any proper CAT(−1...
متن کاملDiophantine Approximation for Negatively Curved Manifolds, I
Let M be a geometrically finite pinched negatively curved Riemannian manifold with at least one cusp. Inspired by the theory of diophantine approximation of a real (or complex) number by rational ones, we develop a theory of approximation of geodesic lines starting from a given cusp by ones returning to it. We define a new invariant for M , the Hurwitz constant of M . It measures how well all g...
متن کاملPartial Sums of Excursions along Random Geodesics and Volume Asymptotics for Thin Parts of Moduli Spaces of Quadratic Differentials
For a non-uniform lattice in SL(2, R), we consider excursions of a random geodesic in cusp neighborhoods of the quotient finite area hyperbolic surface or orbifold. We prove a strong law for a certain partial sum involving these excursions. This generalizes a theorem of Diamond and Vaaler for continued fractions [9]. In the Teichmüller setting, we consider invariant measures for the SL(2, R) ac...
متن کاملWord length statistics and Lyapunov exponents for Fuchsian groups with cusps
Given a Fuchsian group with at least one cusp, Deroin, Kleptsyn and Navas define a Lyapunov expansion exponent for a point on the boundary, and ask if it vanishes for almost all points with respect to Lebesgue measure. We give an affirmative answer to this question, by considering the behavior of the word metric along typical geodesic rays and their excursions into cusps. We also consider the b...
