Equidistribution for higher-rank Abelian actions on Heisenberg nilmanifolds

We prove quantitative equidistribution results for actions of Abelian subgroups of the $2g+1$ dimensional Heisenberg group acting on compact $2g+1$-dimensional homogeneous nilmanifolds. The results are based on the study of the $C^\infty$-cohomology of the action of such groups, on tame estimates of the associated cohomological equations and on a renormalisation method initially applied by Forni to surface flows and by Forni and the second author to other parabolic flows. As an application we obtain bounds for finite Theta sums defined by real quadratic forms in $g$ variables, generalizing the classical results of Hardy and Littlewood \cite{MR1555099, MR1555214} and the optimal result of Fiedler, Jurkat and Körner \cite{MR0563894} to higher dimension.
