Interactions between Dynamics of Group Actions and Number Theory

In the early 70’s, Greenfield and Wallach studied fields globally hypo-elliptic vectors fields on compact manifolds and made the following conjecture :

``Let $ G $ be a Lie group and let $ H $ be a closed subgroup Such That $G/H
$ is compact.  Let $ X   $ be the vector field on $ G / H $ determined by
some element $X$ in the Lie algebra of $G$. Given by If $ X   $ is globally
hypo-elliptic, then $ G / H $ is a torus.''

In a work in collaboration with F.~Rodriguez-Hertz and G. Forni,
we gave a positive solution to this problem.
In this talk I will recall  thistory of the problem, wxplain its relation with Katok's conjecture
on cohomologically free vector fields and give some idea of the proof.
