Abstract

We consider the family of harmonic measures on a lamination L\mathcal{L} of a compact space XX by locally symmetric spaces LL of noncompact type, i.e. LΓL\G/KL\simeq \Gamma_L\backslash G/K. We establish a natural bijection between these measures and the measures on an associated lamination foliated by GG-orbits, L^\hat{\mathcal{L}} which are right invariant under a minimal parabolic (Borel) subgroup B<GB < G. In the special case when GG is split, these measures correspond to the measures that are invariant under both the Weyl chamber flow and the stable horospherical flows on a certain bundle over the associated Weyl chamber lamination. We also show that the measures on L^\hat{\mathcal{L}} right invariant under two distinct minimal parabolics, and therefore all of GG, are in bijective correspondence with the holonomy-invariant ones.
