The Nevo-Zimmer intermediate factor theorem over local fields

Dynamical Systems 2016-09-23 v2

Abstract

The Nevo-Zimmer theorem classifies the possible intermediate GG-factors YY in X×G/PYXX \times G/P \to Y \to X, where GG is a higher rank semisimple Lie group, PP a minimal parabolic and XX an irreducible GG-space with an invariant probability measure. An important corollary is the Stuck-Zimmer theorem, which states that a faithful irreducible action of a higher rank Kazhdan semisimple Lie group with an invariant probability measure is either transitive or free, up to a null set. We present a different proof of the first theorem, that allows us to extend these two well-known theorems to linear groups over arbitrary local fields.
