Abstract: Let $ \nu$ be a probability measure on $ \mathrm{SL}_d(\mathbb{Z})$ satisfying the moment condition $ \mathbb{E}_\nu(\Vert g\Vert^\epsilon)<\infty$ for some $ \epsilon$. We show that if the group generated by the support of $ \nu$ is large enough, in particular if this group is Zariski dense in $ \mathrm{SL}_d$, for any irrational $ x \in \mathbb{T}^d$ the probability measures $ \nu^{* n} * \delta_x$ tend to the uniform measure on $ \mathbb{T}^d$. If in addition $ x$ is Diophantine generic, we show this convergence is exponentially fast.
