Rational-ray escape-of-mass conjecture

About 11 years old · traced to

Let Ω\Omega be the space of rays, let ξ∈Ω\xi\in\Omega be rational, and let μxnξ\mu_{x_n^\xi} be the associated sequence of measures on the homogeneous space X∞X_\infty.

Rational-ray escape-of-mass conjecture. For any rational ξ∈Ω\xi\in\Omega, the measures μxnξ\mu_{x_n^\xi} converge to the zero measure.

This conjecture concerns the exceptional behaviour of rational rays and expresses complete escape of mass along them. The source introduces it after the generic equidistribution conjecture as a suggestion based on computer experiments; its resolution is not established in the supplied text.
