We describe contraction properties of the dynamics of $\\Gamma$ on $\\R^d$ at infinity. This amounts to the consideration of the action of $\\Gamma$ on some compact homogeneous spaces of $G,$ which are extensions of the projective space $\\pr^{d-1}.$ In the case where $\\Gamma$ is a sub-semigroup of $GL(d,\\R)\\cap M(d,\\Z)$ and $\\Gamma$ has the above properties, we deduce that the $\\Gamma$-orbits on $\\T^d=\\R^d\\slash\\Z^d$ are finite or dense.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2004-11-24T16:31:17.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "subjects": [ "54H20", "22E40", "60J05", "60B15" ], "keywords": [ "projective space", "stationary measures", "semigroup actions", "compact homogeneous spaces", "sub-semigroup" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 0, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable", "adsabs": "2004math.....11553G" } } }
