Abstract
Given a a probability measure ยต on SL(d,Z), the associated random walk on the linear group induces a random walk on the d-dimensional torus Rd/Zd. Bourgain-Furman-Lindenstrauss-Mozes showed that the random walk equidistributes to the Haar measure provided that the starting point is irrational, ยต has finite exponential moment and that the group generated by the support of ยต acts irreducibly and proximally on R^d. In this talk, I will explain how to get the same result for certain non-proximal groups (for example SL(d,C)) using their method combined with new tools from additive combinatorics.
