Abstract:
Let $\mathcal {M}$ be a non-elementary convex cocompact hyperbolic $3$-manifold and $\delta$ be the critical exponent of its fundamental group. We prove that a one-dimensional unipotent flow for the frame bundle of $\mathcal {M}$ is ergodic for the Burger-Roblin measure if and only if $\delta >1$.References
