A short proof of unique ergodicity of horospherical foliations on infinite volume hyperbolic manifolds
Confluentes Mathematici, Tome 8 (2016) no. 1, pp. 165-174.

We provide a new proof of the fact that the horospherical group N<G=SO o (d,1) acting on the frame bundle ΓG of a hyperbolic manifold admits a unique invariant ergodic measure (up to multiplicative constants) supported on the set of frames whose orbit under the geodesic flow comes back infinitely often in a compact set. This result is known, but our proof is more direct and much shorter.
