The idempotent measure conjecture for definable groups
The idempotent measure conjecture for definable groups
Let be a definable group, and let be fim over . Its right stabilizer, denoted , is type-definable over . The measure is idempotent measure conjecture. The following conditions are conjectured to be equivalent:
- is idempotent with respect to definable convolution.
- is the unique right -invariant, equivalently unique left -invariant, Keisler measure concentrated on .
In particular, the conjecture predicts a correspondence between idempotent fim measures in and -type-definable fim subgroups of . It translates the characterization of convolution-idempotent regular measures on locally compact groups as Haar measures on compact subgroups into the model-theoretic setting. It is known for definable groups in stable theories, abelian definable groups, certain NIP groups when the measure is -invariant, and Dirac measures in rosy theories; the general case remains open.
