Ergodicity of laminations with singularities in Kähler surfaces (Q2435087)

Given a lamination by Riemann surfaces on a compact Kähler surface, one may study the set of currents on the surface that are directed by the lamination (i.e., that are positive and orthogonal to any locally defined (1,0)-form which is non-vanishing, continuous, and orthogonal to the leaves of the lamination). This paper considers homogeneous Kähler surfaces (i.e., \(\mathbb{P}^2\), \(\mathbb{P}^1 \times \mathbb{P}^1\), \(\mathbb{P}^1 \times \mathbb{C}/\Lambda_1\), and \(\mathbb{C}^2/\Lambda_2\)) and laminations with only hyperbolic singularities (which should be generic among all laminations). The main result is that a lamination in the aforementioned setting must either have directed closed currents or exactly one directed harmonic current of mass one. (For the latter outcome, the existence of a directed harmonic current is due to Berndtsson and Sibony, while the uniqueness in the case of a lamination on \(\mathbb{P}^2\) is due to Fornaess and Sibony.) The paper relies on a result previously proved and used by Fornaess and Sibony which gives uniqueness of directed harmonic currents if every such current has zero geometric self-intersection. Thus the majority of the paper is devoted to careful computations of geometric self-intersections of directed harmonic currents on \(\mathbb{P}^1 \times \mathbb{P}^1\), \(\mathbb{P}^1 \times \mathbb{C}/\Lambda_1\), and \(\mathbb{C}^2/\Lambda_2\). The computations must address a greater assortment of self-intersections than what arises on \(\mathbb{P}^2\), and the paper presents new techniques for these computations.
