Heisenberg-group equidistribution conjecture for Diophantine parameters

Let H(R)\mathbb{H}(\mathbb{R}) be the Heisenberg group, let H(Z)\mathbb{H}(\mathbb{Z}) be its integer subgroup, and let μH\mu_H be the invariant probability measure on H(Z)\H(R)\mathbb{H}(\mathbb{Z})\backslash\mathbb{H}(\mathbb{R}). For fCk(H(Z)\H(R))f\in C^k(\mathbb{H}(\mathbb{Z})\backslash\mathbb{H}(\mathbb{R})), define fCk\|f\|_{C^k} using monomials in the standard left-invariant differential operators of degree at most kk. Heisenberg-group equidistribution conjecture. There exist k,lNk,l\in\mathbb{N} and κ02\kappa_0\geq2 such that, for any fixed Diophantine α\alpha of type κκ0\kappa\leq\kappa_0, there is s=s(κ)>0s=s(\kappa)>0 for which, for every such ff and every νC(R)\nu\in C^\infty(\mathbb{R}) supported on [L,L][-L,L], L1L\geq1, the displayed reduced-residue average in the source equals ν^(0)fdμH\widehat{\nu}(0)\int f\,d\mu_H with error O(LνClfCkcs)O(L\|\nu\|_{C^l}\|f\|_{C^k}c^{-s}) as cc\to\infty, where (a,b)(a,b) solves adbc=1ad-bc=1. The conjecture is a pointwise equidistribution statement intended to imply convergence of the pair-correlation measure to Lebesgue measure; no resolution is supplied in the text.
