Pointwise limits for sequences of orbital integrals

Abstract

In 1967, Ross and Str\"omberg published a theorem about pointwise limits of orbital integrals for the left action of a locally compact group GG onto (G,ρ)(G,\rho), where ρ\rho is the right Haar measure. In this paper, we study the same kind of problem, but more generally for left actions of GG onto any measured space (X,μ)(X,\mu), which leaves the σ\sigma-finite measure μ\mu relatively invariant, in the sense that sμ=Δ(s)μs\mu = \Delta(s)\mu for every sGs\in G, where Δ\Delta is the modular function of GG. As a consequence, we also obtain a generalization of a theorem of Civin, relative to one-parameter groups of measure preserving transformations. The original motivation for the circle of questions treated here dates back to classical problems concerning pointwise convergence of Riemann sums relative to Lebesgue integrable functions.
