We will discuss the fine-scale distribution of rational points in n
dimensions, with denominators restricted to a window at large height
but of relatively small width. Previous results in the literature, due
to Hall and others, were limited to Farey sequences, where the window
size is of the same order as the denominator. We prove the convergence
of fine-scale statistics in a range of scaling limits and express the
limit laws in terms of natural probability measures on the space of
affine lattices. The key technical ingredient of our approach is an
equidistribution theorem for slowly expanding horospheres, with some
new exotic limit measures. Our techniques furthermore allow us to
answer a recent question by Anderson, Boca, Cobeli and Zaharescu
concerning the directional statistics of lattice points. The talk is
based on joint work with Gaurav Aggarwal and Anish Ghosh.
