Abstract

Let GG be a real Lie group, ΛG\Lambda\subseteq G a lattice, and X=G/ΛX=G/\Lambda. We fix a probability measure μ\mu on GG and consider the left random walk induced on XX. It is assumed that μ\mu is aperiodic, has a finite first moment, spans a semisimple algebraic group without compact factors, and has two non mutually singular convolution powers. We show that for every starting point xXx\in X, the nn-th step distribution μnδx\mu^n*\delta_{x} of the walk weak-\ast converges toward some homogeneous probability measure on XX.
