Margulis's algebraicity conjecture for invariant measures

At least 21 years old · documented by

Let GG, Γ\Gamma, and HH be as in Margulis's orbit-closure conjecture, and let μ\mu be an HH-invariant, HH-ergodic measure on Γ\G\Gamma\backslash G. Suppose that for every x∈supp⁡μx\in\operatorname{supp}\mu, alternative (2) of Margulis's orbit-closure conjecture does not hold. Margulis's measure-rigidity conjecture. Then μ\mu is algebraic, meaning that it is the invariant measure on the closed orbit of some subgroup L<GL<G containing HH.

This is the measure-theoretic counterpart of Margulis's orbit-closure conjecture and extends the classification paradigm of Ratner's theorem. The source presents it as open.
