Abstract: Let X denote a simply connected compact Riemannian symmetric space, U the universal covering of the identity component of the group of automorphisms of X, and LU the loop group of U. In this paper we prove the existence (and conjecture the uniqueness) of an LU-invariant probability measure on a distributional completion of the loop space of X.

Review text

Let \(X\) denote a simply connected compact Riemannian symmetric space, \(U\) the universal covering of the identity component of the group of automorphisms of \(X\), and \(LU\) the loop group of \(U\). The main result of this article is the existence of an \(LU\)-invariant probability measure on a distributional completion of the loop space of \(X\). The uniqueness of such measure is conjectured. In order to make the involved proof more understandable, the particular cases of \(X=\text{SU}(2)\) and \(X=\mathbb{S}^2\) are detailed apart.
