Mathematics Colloquium EVENT DETAIL Date:  Tuesday, September 18, 2007 Title:  Rational points on symmetric varieties Abstract:  I will describe the polar decomposition of symmetric spaces both over the real and the p-adic fields. I will explain how such a decomposition allows one to prove equidistribution results for the rational points on symmetric varieties.
