On the residuality of mixing by convolutions probabilities (Q1802783)

Let \(G\) be a locally compact \(\sigma\)-compact amenable Hausdorff group, \(P(G)\) be the set of all probability measures on \(G\). A measure \(\mu\in P(G)\) is called mixing by convolution if for any \(\nu_ 1,\nu_ 2\in P(G)\), \(\lim_{n\to\infty} \|(\nu_ 1- \nu_ 2)*\mu^{*n}\|= \lim_{n\to\infty} \|\mu^{*n}(\nu_ 1- \nu_ 2\|=0\). It is proved that the set of all mixing by convolution measures \(\mu\in P(G)\) is a variation dense subset of the set \(P(G)\). The abelian case was considered by \textit{A. Iwanik} and \textit{R. Rebowski} [Ann. Pol. Math. 56, 233-242 (1992)], see also \textit{J. Rosenblatt} [Math. Ann. 257, 31-42 (1981; Zbl 0451.60011)].
