Gap distributions and homogeneous dynamics
  We survey the use of dynamics of $SL(2, \R)$-actions to understand gap distributions for various sequences of subsets of $[0, 1)$, particularly those arising from special trajectories of various two-dimensional dynamical systems. We state and prove an abstract theorem that gives a unified explanation for some of the examples we present.
