Abstract: We investigate three aspects of weak* convergence of the $n$-step distributions of random walks on finite volume homogeneous spaces $G/Gamma$ of semisimple real Lie groups. First, we look into the obvious obstruction to the upgrade from Cesaro to non-averaged convergence: periodicity. We give examples where it occurs and conditions under which it does not. In a second part, we prove convergence towards Haar measure with exponential speed from almost every starting point. Finally, we establish a strong uniformity property for the Cesaro convergence towards Haar measure for uniquely ergodic random walks.
