Abstract: In his celebrated work in 1988, William Duke showed that CM points of fundamental discriminant are equidistributed on the upper half plane as the discriminant approaches infinity. He also obtained a similar result for the distribution of geodesics associated to indefinite binary quadratic forms. In this talk, we will discuss the distribution of these quadratic objects on geodesics in the upper half plane.
