Let $G:=\mathrm{SO}{(n,1)}^{\circ }$ and $\Gamma (n-1)/2$ for $n=2,3$ and when $\delta >n-2$ for $n\ge 4$, we obtain an effective archimedean counting result for a discrete orbit of $\Gamma$ in a homogeneous space $H\setminus G$ where $H$ is the trivial group, a symmetric subgroup or a horospherical subgroup. More precisely, we show that for any effectively well-rounded family $\{{ℬ}_T\subset H\setminus G\}$ of compact subsets, there exists $\eta >0$ such that $\#\left[e\right]\Gamma \cap {ℬ}_T=ℳ\left({ℬ}_T\right)+O\left(ℳ{\left({ℬ}_T\right)}^{1-\eta }\right)$ for an explicit measure $ℳ$ on $H\setminus G$ which depends on $\Gamma$. We also apply the affine sieve and describe the distribution of almost primes on orbits of $\Gamma$ in arithmetic settings....

We prove a rigidity theorem for semiarithmetic Fuchsian groups: If Γ₁, Γ₂ are two semiarithmetic lattices in PSL(2,ℝ ) virtually admitting modular embeddings, and f: Γ₁ → Γ₂ is a group isomorphism that respects the notion of congruence subgroups, then f is induced by an inner automorphism of PGL(2,ℝ ).
