Uniqueness of large invariant measures for infranilmanifold actions

Let NN be a simply connected nilpotent Lie group, let AA be a group of affine transformations acting freely with a finite-index translation subgroup that is a lattice in NN, and let M=N/AM=N/A be the resulting infranilmanifold. Let lpha0lpha_0 be a strongly simple Anosov action of athbbZkathbb{Z}^k by automorphisms of MM, and let lphalpha be a smooth action with homotopy data lpha0lpha_0. Let h:MMh:M\to M be the semiconjugacy satisfying hα=α0hh\circ\alpha=\alpha_0\circ h, and call an lphalpha-invariant probability measure large if hh_* sends it to Haar measure. Uniqueness conjecture. Under the assumptions of the theorem that every ergodic large invariant measure is absolutely continuous and has the same Lyapunov characteristic exponents as lpha0lpha_0, the large invariant measure is unique. The preceding theorem establishes absolute continuity and equality of exponents for an ergodic large invariant measure, while uniqueness is asserted here without a resolution in the supplied text.
