Description
Let G be a connected semisimple real algebraic group and D be its Zariski dense discrete subgroup. We prove that if D\G admits any finite Bowen-Margulis-Sullivan measure, then D is virtually a product of higher rank lattices and discrete subgroups of rank one factor of G. This may be viewed as a measure-theoretic analog of classification of convex cocompact actions by Kleiner-Leeb and Quint, which was conjectured by Corlette in 1994. This is joint work with Mikolaj Fraczyk. We will then discuss its application on the bottom of the L^2 spectrum, in joint work with Samuel Edwards, Mikolaj Fraczyk, and Hee Oh.
