Kaimanovich–Le Prince singularity conjecture for hitting measures

About 2 years old · traced to

Let Γ<SLN(R)\Gamma<\mathrm{SL}_N(\mathbb{R}) be a discrete subgroup, and let the random walk on Γ\Gamma have finite support. Its hitting measure is a measure on the boundary at infinity, equipped with Lebesgue measure. Kaimanovich–Le Prince conjecture. The hitting measure of any finitely supported random walk on a discrete subgroup Γ<SLN(R)\Gamma<\mathrm{SL}_N(\mathbb{R}) is singular at infinity with respect to the Lebesgue measure. This conjecture concerns the relationship between random-walk hitting measures and Lebesgue measure on the boundary at infinity; the paper proves the singularity conjecture for certain measures on “most” cocompact Fuchsian and Kleinian groups, while the general formulation remains open.
