Random walks on homogeneous spaces and Diophantine approximation on fractals (Q2417968): Difference between revisions

The aim of the present paper is to prove new results about the random walks on homogeneous spaces by extending the results of Y. Benoist and J.-F. Quint regarding homogeneous spaces of simple Lie groups as well as of cases where the measure defining the random walk generates a semigroup which is not necessarily Zariski dense but satisfies some expansion properties for the adjoint action. By using the above-mentioned results as well as the previously known results the authors managed to find out useful applications to questions about the Diophantine properties of typical points on various fields such as on some self-similar fractals in \(\mathbb{R}^d\), on continued fraction expansions of almost every point on the fractal containing all finite words with the frequencies predicted by the Gauss measure as well as analogous results for matrix approximation and for the case of fractals defined by Möbius transformations.
