Abstract: Let be a probability measure on satisfying the moment condition for some . We show that if the group generated by the support of is large enough, in particular if this group is Zariski dense in , for any irrational the probability measures tend to the uniform measure on . If in addition is Diophantine generic, we show this convergence is exponentially fast.
