Abstract

We classify the measures on $SL(k,\mathbb{R}) / SL(k,\mathbb{Z})$ which are invariant and ergodic under the action of the group $A$ of positive diagonal matrices with positive entropy. We apply this to prove that the set of exceptions to Littlewood’s conjecture has Hausdorff dimension zero.
