Let ν be a probability measure on a semi-simple Lie group G with finite center. Under the hypothesis that the semigroup S generated by ν has non-empty interior, we identify the Poisson space Π = G/MνAN, where bounded (l.u.c.) ν-harmonic functions in G have a one-to-one correspondence with measurable (continuous) functions in Π. This paper extends a classical result (see Furstenberg [7], Azencott [1] and others), where the semigroup generated by ν was assumed to be the whole (connected) group. We present two detailed examples.

General Method

Abstract In this paper we introduce the notion of complex isoparametric functions on Riemannian manifolds. These are then employed to devise a general method for constructing proper r-harmonic functions. We then apply this to construct the first known explicit proper r-harmonic functions on the Lie group semidirect products $${{\mathbb {R}}}^m \ltimes {{\mathbb {R}}}^n$$ R m ⋉ R n and $${{\mathbb {R}}}^m \ltimes \mathrm {H}^{2n+1}$$ R m ⋉ H 2 n + 1 , where $$\mathrm {H}^{2n+1}$$ H 2 n + 1 denotes the classical $$(2n+1)$$ ( 2 n + 1 ) -dimensional Heisenberg group. In particular, we construct such examples on all the simply connected irreducible four-dimensional Lie groups.

SynopsisUsing techniques from probability theory, it has been established that if μ is a probability measure on a separable, locally compact group, then the space of μ-harmonic functions on the group can be identified with C(X) for some compact, Hausdorff space X. The space X is known as the Poisson space of μ. We generalise this result in the context of a measure μ on a locally compact semigroup S, in particular establishing the existence of a Poisson space for non-separable groups. The proof is non-probabilistic, and depends on properties of projections on C(K)(K compact Hausdorff). We then show that if S is compact and the support of μ generates S, then the Poisson space associated with μ, is X, where X×G×Y is the Rees product representing the kernel of S.

Orbital Measure

AbstractWe show that every orbital measure, ${\mu }_{x} $, on a compact exceptional Lie group or algebra has the property that for every positive integer either ${ \mu }_{x}^{k} \in {L}^{2} $ and the support of ${ \mu }_{x}^{k} $ has non-empty interior, or ${ \mu }_{x}^{k} $ is singular to Haar measure and the support of ${ \mu }_{x}^{k} $ has Haar measure zero. We also determine the index $k$ where the change occurs; it depends on properties of the set of annihilating roots of $x$. This result was previously established for the classical Lie groups and algebras. To prove this dichotomy result we combinatorially characterize the subroot systems that are kernels of certain homomorphisms.

Abstract Let $M\stackrel {\rho _0}{\curvearrowleft }S$ be a $C^\infty $ locally free action of a connected simply connected solvable Lie group S on a closed manifold M. Roughly speaking, $\rho _0$ is parameter rigid if any $C^\infty $ locally free action of S on M having the same orbits as $\rho _0$ is $C^\infty $ conjugate to $\rho _0$ . In this paper we prove two types of result on parameter rigidity. First let G be a connected semisimple Lie group with finite center of real rank at least $2$ without compact factors nor simple factors locally isomorphic to $\mathop {\mathrm {SO}}\nolimits _0(n,1)(n\,{\geq}\, 2)$ or $\mathop {\mathrm {SU}}\nolimits (n,1)(n\geq 2)$ , and let $\Gamma $ be an irreducible cocompact lattice in G. Let $G=KAN$ be an Iwasawa decomposition. We prove that the action $\Gamma \backslash G\curvearrowleft AN$ by right multiplication is parameter rigid. One of the three main ingredients of the proof is the rigidity theorems of Pansu, and Kleiner and Leeb on the quasi-isometries of Riemannian symmetric spaces of non-compact type. Secondly we show that if $M\stackrel {\rho _0}{\curvearrowleft }S$ is parameter rigid, then the zeroth and first cohomology of the orbit foliation of $\rho _0$ with certain coefficients must vanish. This is a partial converse to the results in the author’s [Vanishing of cohomology and parameter rigidity of actions of solvable Lie groups. Geom. Topol. 21(1) (2017), 157–191], where we saw sufficient conditions for parameter rigidity in terms of vanishing of the first cohomology with various coefficients.

Rigidity Property

We give a criterion for the rigidity of the action of a group of affine transformations of a homogeneous space of a real Lie group. Let $G$ be a real Lie group, $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6EC}$ a lattice in $G$, and $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E4}$ a subgroup of the affine group $\text{Aff}(G)$ stabilizing $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6EC}$. Then the action of $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E4}$ on $G/\unicode[STIX]{x1D6EC}$ has the rigidity property in the sense of Popa [On a class of type $\text{II}_{1}$ factors with Betti numbers invariants. Ann. of Math. (2)163(3) (2006), 809–899] if and only if the induced action of $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E4}$ on $\mathbb{P}(\mathfrak{g})$ admits no $\unicode[STIX]{x1D6E4}$-invariant probability measure, where $\mathfrak{g}$ is the Lie algebra of $G$. This generalizes results of Burger [Kazhdan constants for $\text{SL}(3,\mathbf{Z})$. J. Reine Angew. Math.413 (1991), 36–67] and Ioana and Shalom [Rigidity for equivalence relations on homogeneous spaces. Groups Geom. Dyn.7(2) (2013), 403–417]. As an application, we establish rigidity for the action of a class of groups acting by automorphisms on nilmanifolds associated to two-step nilpotent Lie groups.

Let G be a connected Lie group and let {λi} be a sequence of probability measures on G converging (in the usual weak topology) to a probability measure λ. Suppose that {αi} is a sequence of affine automorphisms of G such that the sequence {αi,(λi)} also converges, say to a probability measure μ. What does this imply about the sequence {αi}? It is a classical observation that if G = ℝn for some n, and neither of λ and μ is supported on a proper affine subspace of ℝn, then under the above condition, {αi} is relatively compact in the group of all affine automorphisms of ℝn.

AbstractLet G be a second countable locally compact group possessing a normal subgroup N with G/N abelian. We prove that if G/N is discrete then G has T1 primitive ideal space if and only if the G-quasiorbits in Prim N are closed. This condition on G-quasiorbits arose in Pukanzky's work on connected and simply connected solvable Lie groups where it is equivalent to the condition of Auslander and Moore that G be type R on N (-nilradical). Using an abstract version of Pukanzky's arguments due to Green and Pedersen we establish that if G is a connected and simply connected Lie group then Prim G is T1 whenever G-quasiorbits in [G, G] are closed.
