Abstract
We prove a higher-rank analogue of a well-known result of W. M. Schmidt concerning almost everywhere pointwise discrepancy bounds for lattices in Euclidean space (see Theorem 1 in [Trans. Amer. Math. Soc. 95 (1960), 516–529]). We also establish volume estimates pertaining to higher minima of lattices and then use the work of Kleinbock–Margulis and Kelmer–Yu to prove dynamical Borel–Cantelli lemmata and logarithm laws for higher minima and various related functions.
