Decay of Fourier coefficients for Furstenberg measures

Abstract

Let $\nu$ be the Furstenberg measure associated with a non-elementary probability measure $\mu$ on SL_2(R). We show that, when $\mu$ has a finite second moment, the Fourier coefficients of $\nu$ tend to zero at infinity. In other words, $\nu$ is a Rajchman measure. This improves a recent result of Jialun Li.
