Abstract

Suppose LL is a semisimple Levi subgroup of a connected Lie group~GG, XX is a Borel GG-space with finite invariant measure, and α ⁣:X×G\GLn()\alpha \colon X \times G \to \GL_n(\real) is a Borel cocycle. Assume LL has finite center, and that the real rank of every simple factor of~LL is at least two. We show that if LL is ergodic on~XX, and the restriction of~α\alpha to~X×LX \times L is cohomologous to a homomorphism (modulo a compact group), then, after passing to a finite cover of~XX, the cocycle α\alpha itself is cohomologous to a homomorphism (modulo a compact group).
