Abstract

For many orbital measures μ, on SU(n), we show that either μk L 2 or μk is singular to L 1. The least k for which μk L 2 is determined and is shown to be the minimum k for which the k-fold product of the conjugacy class supporting the measure has positive measure. It would be interesting to know if all orbital measures satisfy this dichotomy.
