Title: Equidistribution of nilsequences
Abstract: I will explain some recent joint work with Terry Tao concerning
quantitative equidistribution on nilmanifolds. This work contains
classical equidistribution results such as that of Kronecker on n\alpha
mod 1, where alpha in R^d, and that of Weyl on n^2\theta mod 1. My goal
will be to give plenty of examples, state the general result, and give
some indication of the proof. Those wishing to understand our motivation
for proving such a result might be interested in my colloquium on Friday
23rd November.
