In this paper, we prove a new ergodic theorem for ℝd-actions involving averages over dilated submanifolds, thereby generalizing the theory of spherical averages. Our main result is a quantitative estimate for the error term of such averages valid for smooth functions under some effective mixing assumptions on the action. With the aid of this theorem, we investigate multiplicative-type Dirichlet-improvability for (m× n)-matrices with real coefficients. In particular, we establish that almost all matrices are uniformly approximable by the function x↦ x-1(log x)-1+ε for any ε>0. Results of this type motivate a question which can be thought as a strengthening of Littlewood's conjecture in multiplicative Diophantine approximation.
