Abstract:
The following results on uniqueness of invariant means are shown: (i) Let be a connected almost simple algebraic group defined over . Assume that , the group of the real points in , is not compact. Let be a prime, and let be the compact -adic Lie group of the -points in . Then the normalized Haar measure on is the unique invariant mean on . (ii) Let be a semisimple Lie group with finite centre and without compact factors, and let be a lattice in . Then integration against the -invariant probability measure on the homogeneous space is the unique -invariant mean on .
