We find the minimal integer, $L(G),$ such that any convolution product of $L(G)$ continuous, $K$-bi-invariant measures on $G$ is absolutely continuous with respect to Haar measure. Further, any product of $L(G)$ double cosets has non-empty interior. The number $L(G)$ is either $2$ or $3$% , depending on the Cartan type, and in most cases is strictly less than the rank of $G$.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2015-11-18T14:28:18.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "43A80", "22E30", "53C35" ], "keywords": [ "exceptional symmetric spaces", "convolution product", "orbital measures", "absolute continuity", "cartan type" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2015arXiv151105799H" } } }
