On the cusp of the 100 year anniversary, Khinchin's theorem implies a strong 0-1 law for the real line; namely, the set of real numbers within distance q^{-2-\epsilon} of infinitely many rationals p/q is Lebesgue measure 0 for \epsilon>0, and full measure for \epsilon=0. In these lectures, I will present an analogous result for horoball packings in Gromov hyperbolic metric spaces. As an application, we prove a logarithm law; that is, we prove asymptotics for the depth in the packing of a typical geodesic. This is joint work with Giulio Tiozzo.

Cannon and Thurston showed that a hyperbolic 3-manifold that fibers over the circle gives rise to a sphere-filling curve. The universal cover of the fiber surface is quasi-isometric to the hyperbolic plane, whose boundary is a circle, and the universal cover of the 3-manifold is 3-dimensional hyperbolic space, whose boundary is the 2-sphere. Cannon and Thurston showed that the inclusion map between the universal covers extends to a continuous map between their boundaries, whose image is dense. In particular, any measure on the circle pushes forward to a measure on the 2-sphere using this map. We compare several natural measures coming from this construction.
