Liouville property on $G$-spaces

Abstract

Let GG be a locally compact group and EE be a GG-space. An irreducible probability measure μ\mu on GG is said to have Liouville property on EE if GG-invariant functions on EE are the only continuous bounded functions on EE that satisfy the mean value property with respect to μ\mu. We first prove that the random walk induced by μ\mu on EE is transient outside a closed set and on the closed set μ\mu has Liouville. We mainly consider actions on vector spaces and projective spaces. We show that measures on GL(V)GL(V) that are supported inside a ball of radius less than a<1a<1 have Liouville property on VV. We also prove that measures on GL(R2)GL(\R ^2) have Liouville property on the projective line. We next exhibit subgroups of GL(V)GL(V) so that irreducible measures on such subgroups have Liouville on the projective space \mP(V)\mP (V) of VV. We also prove irreducible measures on SL(V)SL(V) have Liouville property on \mP(\cSL(V))\mP (\cSL (V)) where \cSL(V)\cSL (V) is the Lie algebra of SL(V)SL(V)
