Random walks on projective spaces (Q2926580)

The authors summarize the contents of this paper in the abstract as follows: Let \(G\) be a connected real semisimple Lie group, \(V\) be a finite-dimensional representation of \(G\) and \(\mu\) be a probability measure on \(G\) whose support spans a Zariski-dense subgroup. We prove that the set of ergodic \(\mu\)-stationary probability measures on the projective space \(\mathbb P(V)\) is in one-to-one correspondence with the set of compact \(G\)-orbits in \(\mathbb P(V)\). When V is strongly irreducible, we prove the existence of limits for the empirical measures. We prove related results over local fields as the finiteness of the set of ergodic \(\mu\)-stationary measures on the flag variety of \(G\).
