The authors' main claim We show that the limit defining the higher-weight limiting modular symbol is equivalent everywhere to a limit given by approximating the irrational endpoint by its continued fraction expansion.

The abstract, sentence by sentence
We begin with the higher-weight modular symbols introduced by Shokurov, which generalize Manin's weight-2 modular symbols. We then define higher-weight limiting modular symbols associated to vertical geodesics with one endpoint at an irrational real number, by means of a limiting procedure on Shokurov's modular symbols. These are analogous to the Manin-Marcolli limiting modular symbols for the weight-2 case, which are given by a similar limiting procedure on the Manin modular symbols. We show that the limit defining the higher-weight limiting modular symbol is equivalent everywhere to a limit given by approximating the irrational endpoint by its continued fraction expansion. This is done by means of shifting to a coding space, as in the approach of Kesseb\"ohmer and Stratmann in the weight-2 case.
