A non-homogeneous orbit of a diagonal subgroup

Dynamical Systems 2008-08-28 v2

Abstract

Let G=SL(n,R) with n>5. We construct examples of lattices Gamma of G, subgroup A of the diagonal group and points x in G/Gamma such that the closure of the orbit Ax is not homogeneous but does not factors through the action of a one-parameter non-unipotent group. This contradicts a conjecture of Margulis.
