Équirépartition adélique de mesures algébriques dans un groupe résoluble et sommes de Kloosterman

Abstract.

This paper answers a question of Clozel and Ullmo, showing that certain sequences of adelically-defined probability measures defined on an adelic quotient of a solvable group converge to the uniform measure on that quotient. This turns out to depend on any non-trivial estimate for classical Kloosterman sums. At the end, a “horizontal” analogue of the problem is stated and solved using a result of Duke, Friedlander and Iwaniec.
