Escape and Non-Escape of Mass for Monogenic Binary Cubic Forms
Abstract
We study the distribution of monogenic integral binary cubic forms f(x,y) with bounded discriminant and bounded monogenizer inside a fundamental domain for the action of GL2(ℤ) on the space of real binary cubic forms. We show that when the monogenizer for f is [±1:0] (i.e., f(±1,0)=1), the corresponding set is fully concentrated in the cusp. We also prove a complementary result, namely, that when the monogenizers [±1:0] (with height bounded in terms of the discriminant bound) are excluded, the resulting set has no escape of mass to the cusp. However, we surprisingly show that despite this non-escape of mass, the points in the fundamental domain are not equidistributed.
