Shapes of unit lattices and escape of mass
  We study the collection of points on the modular surface obtained from the logarithm embeddings of the groups of units in totally real cubic number fields. We conjecture that this set is dense and show that its closure contains countably many explicit curves and give a strategy to show that it has non-empty interior. The results are obtained by constructing explicit families of orders (generalizing the so called simplest cubic fields) and calculating their groups of units. We also address the question of escape of mass for the compact orbits of the diagonal group associated to these orders.
