A report on an ergodic dichotomy

Abstract

We establish (some directions) of a Ledrappier correspondence between H\"older cocycles, Patterson-Sullivan measures, etc for word-hyperbolic groups with metric-Anosov Mineyev flow. We then study Patterson-Sullivan measures for θ\theta-Anosov representations over a local field and show that these are parametrized by the θ\theta-critical hypersurface of the representation. We use these Patterson-Sullivan measures to establish a dichotomy concerning directions in the interior of the θ\theta-limit cone of the representation in question: if uu is such a half-line, then the subset of uu-conical limit points has either total-mass if θ2|\theta|\leq2 or zero-mass if θ4.|\theta|\geq4. The case θ=3|\theta|=3 remains unsettled.
