We establish the limiting distribution of certain subsets of Farey sequences, i.e., sequences of primitive rational points, on expanding horospheres in covers $\Delta\backslash\mathrm{SL}(n+1,\mathbb{R})$ of $\mathrm{SL}(n+1,\mathbb{Z})\backslash\mathrm{SL}(n+1,\mathbb{R})$, where $\Delta$ is a finite index subgroup of $\mathrm{SL}(n+1,\mathbb{Z})$. These subsets can be obtained by projecting to the hyperplane $\{(x_1,\ldots,x_{n+1})\in\mathbb{R}^{n+1}:x_{n+1}=1\}$ sets of the form $\mathbf{A}=\bigcup_{j=1}^J\boldsymbol{a}_j\Delta$, where for all $j$, $\boldsymbol{a}_j$ is a primitive lattice point in $\mathbb{Z}^{n+1}$. Our method involves applying the equidistribution of expanding horospheres in quotients of $\mathrm{SL}(n+1,\mathbb{R})$ developed by Marklof and Str\"{o}mbergsson, and more precisely understanding how the full Farey sequence distributes in $\Delta\backslash\mathrm{SL}(n+1,\mathbb{R})$ when embedded on expanding horospheres as done in previous work by Marklof. For each of the Farey sequence subsets, we extend the statistical results by Marklof regarding the full multidimensional Farey sequences, and solutions by Athreya and Ghosh to Diophantine approximation problems of Erd\H{o}s-Sz\"{u}sz-Tur\'an and Kesten. We also prove that Marklof's result on the asymptotic distribution of Frobenius numbers holds for sets of primitive lattice points of the form $\mathbf{A}$.

    α n^d mod 1 exhibits Poissonian ℓ-point correlations for almost all α when d is large (depending on ℓ) and for a full-dimensional set of badly approximable α via determinant method counting and Fourier transference.

    For large d, the sequence α n^d mod 1 has Poissonian ℓ-point correlations for almost all α and for a full-dimensional set of badly approximable α via determinant-method counting on hypersurfaces.
