Ratner's non-divergence conjecture for unipotent flows

Let GG be a Lie group, let Γ\Gamma be a discrete subgroup of GG, let {ut}tRG\{u_t\}_{t\in\mathbb{R}}\subseteq G be a unipotent one-parameter subgroup, and let x=gΓG/Γx=g\Gamma\in G/\Gamma. For a neighborhood NN of the identity in GG, consider the set of times at which the conjugated subgroup intersects NN nontrivially. Ratner's non-divergence conjecture. For any point x=gΓG/Γx=g\Gamma\in G/\Gamma, there exists a neighborhood NN of the identity in GG such that

1Tm({t[0,T]:N(utg)Γ(utg)1{e}})<ϵ\frac{1}{T}m\bigl(\{t\in[0,T]:N\cap(u_tg)\Gamma(u_tg)^{-1}\neq\{e\}\}\bigr)<\epsilon

for all large T>0T>0, where mm is Lebesgue measure on R\mathbb{R}. This conjecture asks for quantitative non-divergence of unipotent flows for arbitrary discrete subgroups, extending the known results for lattices and related settings; its resolution is not specified in the source.
