Rigidity of measures invariant under the action of a multiplicative semigroup of polynomial growth on $\T$

Abstract

We prove that if a Borel probability measure (μ) on (\T) is invariant under the action of a "large" multiplicative semigroup (lower logarithmic density is positive) and the action of the whole semigroup is ergodic then (μ) is either Lebesgue or has finite support.
