Abstract: Let $G$ be a real Lie group, $LambdaleqG$ a lattice, and $Omega=G/Lambda$. We study the equidistribution properties of the left random walk on $Omega$ induced by a probability measure $mu$ on $G$. It is assumed that $mu$ has a finite first moment, and that the Zariski closure of the group generated by the support of $mu$ in the adjoint representation is semisimple without compact factors. We show that for every starting point $xinOmega$, the $mu$-walk with origin $x$ has no escape of mass, and equidistributes in Ces`aro averages toward some homogeneous measure. This extends several fundamental results due to Benoist-Quint and Eskin-Margulis for walks with finite exponential moment.
