Minimality and unique ergodicity for subgroup actions
Annales de l'Institut Fourier, Tome 48 (1998) no. 5, pp. 1533-1541.

Soient G un groupe semi-simple algébrique sur , H un sous-groupe algébrique sur , et Γ un réseau dans G. Répondant partiellement à une question de Hillel Furstenberg remontant à 1972, nous prouvons que si l’action de H sur G/Γ est minimale alors elle est uniquement ergodique. Notre preuve repose sur la classification de Marina Ratner des mesures sur G/Γ invariantes sous l’action des éléments unipotents, et l’analyse des “tubes” dans G/Γ.

Let G be an -algebraic semisimple group, H an algebraic -subgroup, and Γ a lattice in G. Partially answering a question posed by Hillel Furstenberg in 1972, we prove that if the action of H on G/Γ is minimal, then it is uniquely ergodic. Our proof uses in an essential way Marina Ratner’s classification of probability measures on G/Γ invariant under unipotent elements, and the study of “tubes” in G/Γ.
