Arithmetic and Dynamics on Varieties of Markoff Type
Abstract: The Markoff equation x^2+y^2+z^2=3xyz, which arose in his spectacular
thesis (1879), is ubiquitous in a tremendous variety of contexts. After
reviewing some of these, we will discuss joint work with Bourgain and
Sarnak establishing forms of strong approximation on varieties of Markoff
type, as well as ensuing implications, diophantine and dynamical.
