Definable convolution and idempotent Keisler measures, II

Abstract

We study convolution semigroups of invariant/finitely satisfiable Keisler measures in NIP groups. We show that the ideal (Ellis) subgroups are always trivial and describe minimal left ideals in the definably amenable case, demonstrating that they always form a Bauer simplex. Under some assumptions, we give an explicit construction of a minimal left ideal in the semigroup of measures from a minimal left ideal in the corresponding semigroup of types (this includes the case of SL$_{2}(\mathbb{R})$, which is not definably amenable). We also show that the canonical push-forward map is a homomorphism from definable convolution on $\mathcal{G}$ to classical convolution on the compact group $\mathcal{G}/\mathcal{G}^{00}$, and use it to classify $\mathcal{G}^{00}$-invariant idempotent measures.
