چکیده

For an inclusion F < G < L of connected real algebraic groups such that F is epimorphic in G, we show that any closed F -invariant subset of L/3 is G-invariant, where 3 is a lattice in L. This is a topological analogue of a result due to S. Mozes, that any finite F -invariant measure on L/3 is G-invariant. This result is established by proving the following result. If in addition G is generated by unipotent elements, then there exists a ∈ F such that the following holds. Let U ⊂ F be the subgroup generated by all unipotent elements of F , x ∈ L/3, and λ and μ denote the Haar probability measures on the homogeneous spacesUx andGx, respectively (cf. Ratner’s theorem). Then anλ→ μ weakly as n→∞. We also give an algebraic characterization of algebraic subgroups F < SLn(R) for which all orbit closures on SLn(R)/SLn(Z) are finite-volume almost homogeneous, namely the smallest observable subgroup of SLn(R) containing F should have no nontrivial algebraic characters defined over R.

6 On discontinuous group actions on non - Riemannian homogeneous spaces ∗

This article gives an up-to-date account of the theory of discrete group actions on non-Riemannian homogeneous spaces. As an introduction of the motifs of this article, we begin by reviewing the current knowledge of possible global forms of pseudoRiemannian manifolds with constant curvatures, and discuss what kind of problems we propose to pursue. For pseudo-Riemannian manifolds, isometric acti...

Invariant Measures and Orbit Closures on Homogeneous Spaces for Actions of Subgroups Generated by Unipotent Elements

The theorems of M. Ratner, describing the finite ergodic invariant measures and the orbit closures for unipotent flows on homogeneous spaces of Lie groups, are extended for actions of subgroups generated by unipotent elements. More precisely: Let G be a Lie group (not necessarily connected) and Γ a closed subgroup of G. Let W be a subgroup of G such that AdG(W ) is contained in the Zariski clos...

Recurrence and ergodicity of random walks on linear groups and on homogeneous spaces

We discuss recurrence and ergodicity properties of random walks and associated skew products for large classes of locally compact groups and homogeneous spaces. In particular we show that a closed subgroup of a product of finitely many linear groups over local fields supports a recurrent random walk if and only if it has at most quadratic growth. We give also a detailed analysis of ergodicity p...
