The set U(n) of n × n unitary matrices forms a compact topological group with respect to the matrix multiplication and the usual topology, therefore there exists a unique (up to the scalar multiplication) translation invariant measure on U(n), the so-called Haar measure. We will consider a random variable Un which maps from a probability space to U(n), and take its values uniformly from U(n), i...

We extend the results of Walters on the uniqueness of invariant measures with maximal entropy on compact groups to an arbitrary locally compact group. We show that the maximal entropy is attained at the left Haar measure and the measure of maximal entropy is unique.
