We begin by showing that commensurators of Zariski dense subgroups of isometry groups of symmetric spaces of non-compact type are discrete provided that the limit set on the Furstenberg boundary is not invariant under the action of a…
Let X denote a simply connected compact Riemannian symmetric space, U the universal covering of the identity component of the group of automorphisms of X, and LU the loop group of U. In this paper we prove the existence (and conjecture the…
We consider the product of i.i.d. random matrices sampled according to a probability measure $\mu$ supported on a strongly irreducible and proximal subset of a compact set $S\subset GL(d,\mathbb{R})$. We establish the local analyticity of…
Let $ \Gamma < PSL_2(\mathbb{C}) $ be a Zariski dense finitely generated Kleinian group. We show all Radon measures on $ PSL_2(\mathbb{C}) / \Gamma $ which are ergodic and invariant under the action of the horospherical subgroup are either…
We consider a random walk on a second countable locally compact topological space endowed with an invariant Radon measure. We show that if the walk is symmetric and if every subset which is invariant by the walk has zero or infinite…
We construct explicit invariant measures for a family of infinite products of random, independent, identically-distributed elements of SL(2,C). The matrices in the product are such that one entry is gamma-distributed along a ray in the…
We extend a result of Ledrappier, Hochman, and Solomyak on exact dimensionality of stationary measures for $\text{SL}_2(\mathbb{R})$ to disintegrations of stationary measures for $\text{GL}(\mathbb{R}^d)$ onto the one dimensional foliations…
We prove the limit theorem for paths of random walks with $n$ steps in $\mathbb{R}^d$ as $n$ and $d$ both go to infinity. For this, the paths are viewed as finite metric spaces equipped with the $\ell_p$-metric for $p\in[1,\infty)$. Under…
Let $\Gamma$ be a countable group acting on a geodesic Gromov-hyperbolic metric space $X$ and $\mu$ a probability measure on $\Gamma$ whose support generates a non-elementary subsemigroup. Under the assumption that $\mu$ has a finite…
Let $G$ be a countable group and $\mu$ a probability measure on $G$. We build a new framework to compute asymptotic quantities associated with the $\mu$-random walk on $G$, using methods from harmonic analysis on groups and Banach space…
Given a measure on the Thurston boundary of Teichmueller space, one can pick a geodesic ray joining some basepoint to a randomly chosen point on the boundary. Different choices of measures may yield typical geodesics with different…
WWe define the notion of a random metric space and prove that with probability one such a space is isometricto the Urysohn universal metric space. The main technique is the study of universal and random distance matrices; we relate the…
Let $G$ be a real Lie group, $\Lambda<G$ a lattice and $H<G$ a connected semisimple subgroup without compact factors and with finite center. We define the notion of $H$-expanding measures $\mu$ on $H$ and, applying recent work of…
We consider a non-elementary group action $G \curvearrowright X$ of a locally compact second countable group $G$ on a possibly exotic non-discrete affine building $X$ of type $\tilde{A}_2$. We prove that if $\mu$ is an admissible symmetric…
We classify the measures on SL (k,R)/SL (k,Z) which are invariant and ergodic under the action of the group A of positive diagonal matrices with positive entropy. We apply this to prove that the set of exceptions to Littlewood's conjecture…
Let $\mu$ be a measure on $SL_{2}(\mathbb{R})$ generating a non-compact and totally irreducible subgroup, let $\chi>0$ denote its Lyapunov exponent, and let $\nu$ be the associated stationary (Furstenberg) measure for the action on the…
Given $d\geq2$, we construct a Zariski-dense random walk on the space of lattices SL$_d(\mathbb{R})/$SL$_d(\mathbb{Z})$ that exhibits escape of mass. This negates the suggestion of recurrence made by Benoist [Ben14] (ICM 2014) and by…
In this note, we generalise a Bourgain's construction of finitely-supported symmetric measures whose Furstenberg measure has a smooth density from the case of $\mathrm{SL}_2(\mathbb{R})$ to that of a general simple Lie group. The proof is…
We prove the continuity of asymptotic entropy as a function of the step distribution for non-degenerate probability measures with finite entropy on wreath products $ A \wr B = \bigoplus_B A \rtimes B $, where $A$ is any countable group and…
Let $G$ be a real Lie group, $\Lambda\leq G$ a lattice, and $\Omega=G/\Lambda$. We study the equidistribution properties of the left random walk on $\Omega$ induced by a probability measure $\mu$ on $G$. It is assumed that $\mu$ has a…
