Kaimanovich–Masur singularity conjecture for mapping class groups
Kaimanovich–Masur singularity conjecture for mapping class groups
Let be a closed connected orientable surface of genus at least two, let be a non-elementary subgroup, and let be a probability measure on whose support generates as a semigroup. Let be the unique -stationary measure on Thurston's boundary .
Kaimanovich–Masur singularity conjecture. If has finite support, then the -stationary measure is singular to every Busemann Patterson–Sullivan measure for .
This conjecture concerns the relationship between random-walk hitting measures and geometric Patterson–Sullivan measures on the Thurston boundary. The source presents it as a conjecture suggested by Kaimanovich–Masur; its resolution status is not specified.
