Abstract

The space of deformations of the integer Heisenberg group under the action of Aut is a homogeneous space for a non-reductive group. We analyze its structure as a measurable dynamical system and obtain mean and variance estimates for Heisenberg lattice point counting in measurable subsets of ; in particular, we obtain a random Minkowski-type theorem. Unlike the Euclidean case, we show there are necessary geometric conditions on the sets that satisfy effective variance bounds.
