Sine-law conjecture for intersection angles of closed geodesics

From papers

Let qq be a fixed PIBQF, let DD be a discriminant, and let θq(D)\theta_q(D) be the multiset of angles arising at intersections between qq and forms of discriminant DD.

Intersection-angle distribution conjecture. As DD\rightarrow\infty, the multiset θq(D)\theta_q(D) tends towards the probability distribution with density

12sin(x)\frac{1}{2}\sin(x)

on [0,π][0,\pi].

This conjecture predicts a sine-law distribution for the angles between a fixed closed geodesic and geodesics associated to forms of growing discriminant. It was resolved by Junehyuk Jung and Naser Sardari.
