Generic equidistribution conjecture for rays in positive-characteristic homogeneous dynamics

Let XX_\infty be the homogeneous space in question, let Ω\Omega be the space of rays, and for each ξΩ\xi\in\Omega let xnξx_n^\xi be the associated sequence of points with periodic measure μxnξ\mu_{x_n^\xi}. The space Ω\Omega carries its natural probability measure.

Generic equidistribution conjecture. For almost every ξΩ\xi\in\Omega, the averages

1N+1n=0Nμxnξ\frac{1}{N+1}\sum_{n=0}^N\mu_{x_n^\xi}

converge to the homogeneous probability measure on XX_\infty.

This conjecture predicts that uniform escape of mass, observed for rational rays, is nongeneric; it is presented as an open belief motivated by the contrast between positive- and zero-characteristic dynamics.
