Abstract
We prove a conjecture of G.A. Margulis on the abundance of certain exceptional orbits of partially hyperbolic flows on homogeneous spaces by utilizing a theory of modified Schmidt games, which are modifications of -games introduced by W. Schmidt in mid-1960s.

Audit summary
Not a correctness certificate. A “Correct” result may include yellow typos or minor formal corrections that do not affect substantive soundness. It means this audit found no unresolved substantive error under the stated criteria; it does not replace expert scrutiny or formal verification.

01Statements2 reported findingsCorrect
The modified-game winning results for bounded and orbit-avoidance sets on homogeneous spaces, and the resulting thickness statement related to Margulis's conjecture, are correct.
The unstable-horospherical winning statements are correct
Pages 3–4 and 8–22 · Theorems 1.1–1.2 · arXiv:1001.5017v2
The admissible expanding region supplies a modified Schmidt game on the unstable subgroup. Quantitative non-divergence and the local product structure yield strategies for bounded forward orbits and for avoiding a prescribed countable collection of submanifolds.
Full paper, version 2 ↗The global thickness consequences follow from the slice results
Pages 4–5 and 22–33 · global consequences · arXiv:1001.5017v2
Winning gives full dimension on unstable leaves, while stable and neutral directions are restored through local product coordinates and a slicing theorem. The hypotheses on the centralizer and the orbit-closure obstruction are exactly those used in this passage.
02Proofs2 reported findingsCorrect
The modified-game, non-divergence, and local-product arguments are correct and complete.
The bounded-orbit game strategy is complete
Pages 11–20 · Theorem 4.2 and proof · arXiv:1001.5017v2
At every game scale quantitative non-divergence bounds the dangerous cusp set, and the expanding subgroup action leaves a legal translate outside it. Iterating over a compact exhaustion yields a uniformly bounded trajectory.
Orbit avoidance and the Margulis application close
Pages 21–33 · Theorem 6.1 and final applications · arXiv:1001.5017v2
Transversality controls the intersections with forbidden submanifolds, countable intersections preserve winning, and local product coordinates transfer the leafwise dimension to the full homogeneous space without losing a dimension.
