Abstract

Let $A,B$ be two diagonal endomorphisms of the $d$-dimensional torus with corresponding eigenvalues relatively prime. We show that for any $A$-invariant ergodic measure $\mu$, there exists a projection onto a torus ${\mathbb T}^r$ of dimension $r\ge\dim\mu$, that maps $\mu$-almost every $B$-orbit to a uniformly distributed sequence in ${\mathbb T}^r$. As a corollary we obtain that the Hausdorff dimension of any bi-invariant measure, as well as any closed bi-invariant set, is an integer.
