The author discusses the problems of existence and uniqueness of invariant measures in the case of groups associated to infinite Kac-Moody algebras, loop groups, and \(\mathrm{Diff} (S^1)\). Let \(G(A)\) denote the complex algebraic group associated to a Cartan matrix \(A\). The author considers the action of the unitary real form \(K(A)\) on the formal completion space \(\mathcal G\) of \(G(A)\); the space \(\mathcal G\) or \(G(A)_{\text{formal}}\) is the maximal space on which the matrix coefficients of integrable highest weight representations of \(G(A)\) can be defined. Let \(C_0\) denote the identity component of the center of \(G(A)\). The author proves his conjecture of existence of a \(K(A)\) bi-invariant measure on \(\mathcal G/C_0\). The considerations in this paper are by no means uniform. Each case has to be discussed and proved separately; even in the class of affine groups the group \(\mathrm{SL}(\infty)\) plays a special role.
