Abstract: Let G=SL(2,R)⋉(R2)⊕k and let Γ be a congruence subgroup of SL(2,Z)⋉(Z2)⊕k. I will present a result giving effective equidistribution of 1-dimensional unipotent orbits in the homogeneous space Γ∖G. The proof involves spectral analysis and use of Weil's bound on Kloosterman sums. I will also discuss applications to effective results for variants of the Oppenheim conjecture on the density of Q(Zn) on the real line, where Q is an irrational indefinite quadratic form. (Based on joint work with Pankaj Vishe.)
