Let G be a connected Lie group and let Γ be a lattice in G (not necessarily co-compact). We show that if (ut) is a unipotent one-parameter subgroup of G then every ergodic invariant (locally finite) measure of the action of (ut) on G/Γ is finite. For ‘arithmetic lattices’ this was proved in [2]. The present generalization is obtained by studying the ‘frequency of visiting compact subsets’ for unbounded orbits of such flows in the special case where G is a connected semi-simple Lie group of ℝ-rank 1 and Γ is any (not necessarily arithmetic) lattice in G.
