Abstract Let X= G/Γ, where G is a Lie group and Γ is a lattice in G, let U be an open subset of X, and let {g t} be a one-parameter subgroup of G. Consider the set of points in X whose g t-orbit misses U; it has measure zero if the flow is ergodic. It has been conjectured that this set has Hausdorff dimension strictly smaller than the dimension of X. This conjecture is proved when X is compact or when G is a simple Lie group of real rank 1. In this paper we prove this conjecture for the case G= SL m+ n (R), Γ= SL m+ n (Z) and g t= diag (e n t,…, e n t, e− m t,…, e− m t), in fact providing an effective estimate for the codimension. The proof uses exponential mixing of the flow together with the method of integral inequalities for height functions on SL m+ n (R)/SL m+ n (Z). We also discuss an application to the problem of improving Dirichlet's theorem in simultaneous Diophantine approximation.
