We classify locally finite invariant measures and orbit closure for the action of the mapping class group on the space of measured laminations on a surface. This classification translates to a classification of measures and orbit closures on the space of quadratic differentials invariant under the horospheric foliation.

Tremors and horocycle dynamics on the moduli space of translation surfaces
We introduce a "tremor" deformation on strata of translation surfaces. Using it, we give new examples of behaviors of horocycle flow orbits in strata of translation surfaces. In the genus two stratum…
Effective counting of simple closed geodesics on hyperbolic surfaces
We prove a quantitative estimate, with a power saving error term, for the number of simple closed geodesics of length at most $L$ on a closed hyperbolic surface of genus $g$. The proof relies on the…

Ergodic actions of the mapping class group
We prove that the horocyclic flow on the moduli space of a compact Riemann surface is ergodic. We also show that the mapping class group acts ergodically on Thurston's space of measured foliations.
