Convergence of measures under diagonal actions on homogeneous spaces (Q664747)

Let \(\lambda\) be a probability measure on \(Tn-1\) where \(n=2\) or \(3\). Suppose \(\lambda\) is invariant, ergodic and has positive entropy with respect to the linear transformation defined by a hyperbolic matrix. We get a measure \(\mu\) on \(SLn(Z)\;SLn(R)\) by putting \(\lambda\) on some unstable horospherical orbit of the right translation of \(at=\text{diag}(et,\dots,et,e-(n-1)t)(t>0)\). We prove that if the average of \(\mu\) with respect to the flow at has a limit, then it must be a scalar multiple of the probability Haar measure. As an application we show that if the entropy of \(\lambda\) is large, then Dirichlet's theorem is not improvable \(\lambda\) almost surely.
