Abstract We give a new proof of Moeckel’s result that for any finite index subgroup of the modular group, almost every real number has its regular continued fraction approximants equidistributed into the cusps of the subgroup according to the weighted cusp widths. Our proof uses a skew product over a cross-section for the geodesic flow on the modular surface. Our techniques show that the same result holds true for approximants found by Nakada’s $\alpha$-continued fractions, and also that the…
Gap distribution of Farey fractions determined by subgroups of SL(2,Z)
For a given finite index subgroup H of SL(2,Z), we use a process developed by Fisher and Schmidt to lift a Poincare section of the horocycle flow on SL(2,R)/SL(2,Z) found by Athreya and Cheung to the

The Farey sequence $\mathcal{F}(Q)$ at level $Q$ is the sequence of irreducible fractions in $[0, 1]$ with denominators not exceeding $Q$, arranged in increasing order of magnitude. A simple
Non-trivial matrix actions preserve normality for continued fractions
A seminal result due to Wall states that if $x$ is normal to a given base $b$ , then so is $rx+s$ for any rational numbers $r,s$ with $r\neq 0$ . We show that a stronger result is true for normality
