Title: Effective equidistribution of horospherical orbits

Abstract: We will review equidistribution properties of expanding translates of horospherical orbits on homogeneous spaces, and connections to a few problems of a number-theoretic nature. In the course, we will discuss various techniques (both spectral and ergodic) of obtaining rates of effective equidistribution, and report on recent progress in generalizing a method of Burger.
