Classification of horospherical invariant measures in higher rank: The Full Story

Abstract

In this paper, we classify horospherical invariant Radon measures for Anosov subgroups of arbitrary semisimple real algebraic groups. This generalizes the works of Burger and Roblin in rank one to higher ranks. At the same time, this extends the works of Furstenberg, Veech, and Dani, and a special case of Ratner's theorem for finite-volume homogeneous spaces to infinite-volume Anosov homogeneous spaces. Especially, this resolves the open problems proposed by Landesberg--Lee--Lindenstrauss--Oh and by Oh. Our measure classification is in fact for a more general class of discrete subgroups, including relatively Anosov subgroups with respect to any parabolic subgroups, not necessarily minimal. We also obtain results for their normal subgroups. Our method is rather geometric, not relying on continuous flows or ergodic theorems.
