The singularity conjecture for stationary measures on the Furstenberg boundary
The singularity conjecture for stationary measures on the Furstenberg boundary
Let be a connected semisimple Lie group without compact factors and with finite center. Suppose is a Zariski dense discrete subgroup, and let be a probability measure on whose support generates as a group. Let be the Furstenberg boundary, where is a minimal parabolic subgroup of , and let be the unique -stationary measure on . Singularity conjecture. If has finite support, then the -stationary measure is singular to the Lebesgue measure class on . This conjecture concerns the relationship between stationary measures arising from random walks on Zariski dense discrete subgroups and the natural Lebesgue measure class on the Furstenberg boundary. The paper proves the assertion under additional hypotheses, including when the ambient semisimple Lie group has property (T), and in rank one when the measure has finite first moment; the general finite-support case stated here remains unresolved based on the supplied context.
