Abstract

Let G be a Lie group and Γ be a discrete subgroup. We show that if {μn} is a convergent sequence of probability measures on G/Γ which are invariant and ergodic under actions of unipotent one-parameter subgroups, then the limit μ of such a sequence is supported on a closed orbit of the subgroup preserving it, and is invariant and ergodic for the action of a unipotent one-parameter subgroup of G.
