Applications of Measure Rigidity of Diagonal Actions
نویسنده
چکیده
Furstenberg and Margulis conjectured classifications of invariant measures for higher rank actions on homogeneous spaces. We survey the applications of the partial measure classifications result by Einsiedler, Katok, and Lindenstrauss to number theoretic problems. Mathematics Subject Classification (2010).

Diagonal Actions in Positive Characteristic
We prove positive characteristic analogues of certain measure rigidity theorems in characteristic zero. More specifically we give a classification result for positive entropy measures on quotients of SLd and a classification of joinings for higher rank actions on simply connected absolutely almost simple groups.
متن کاملErgodic Theory and Number Theory
Elon Lindenstrauss was awarded the 2010 Fields Medal for his results on measure rigidity in ergodic theory, and their applications to number theory. The web page of the ICM 2010 contains the following brief description of Elon Lindenstrauss’ achievements: Lindenstrauss has made far-reaching advances in ergodic theory, the study of measure preserving transformations. His work on a conjecture of ...
متن کاملDeformation and rigidity for group actions and von Neumann algebras
We present some recent rigidity results for von Neumann algebras (II1 factors) and equivalence relations arising from measure preserving actions of groups on probability spaces which satisfy a combination of deformation and rigidity properties. This includes strong rigidity results for factors with calculation of their fundamental group and cocycle superrigidity for actions with applications to...
متن کاملRigidity Properties of Z-actions on Tori and Solenoids
We show that Haar measure is a unique measure on a torus or more generally a solenoid X invariant under a not virtually cyclic totally irreducible Zd-action by automorphisms of X such that at least one element of the action acts with positive entropy. We also give a corresponding theorem in the nonirreducible case. These results have applications regarding measurable factors and joinings of the...
متن کاملCharacter rigidity for special linear groups
In this paper we study characters on special linear groups SLn(R), where R is either an infinite field or the localization of an order in a number field. We give several applications to the theory of measure-preserving actions, operator-algebraic superrigidity, and almost homomorphisms.
