Dans ce travail, on étend la caractérisation des mesures continues, due à Wiener, à des variétés compactes et homogènes. Pour des groupes de Lie compacts et semisimples, et pour des nilvariétés, on trouve des conditions nécessaires et suffisantes pour qu’une mesure de probabilité soit continue. Les démonstrations s’appuient sur des propriétés élémentaires des noyaux de la chaleur.

In this paper we generalize Wiener’s characterization of continuous measures to compact homogenous manifolds. In particular, we give necessary and sufficient conditions on probability measures on compact semisimple Lie groups and nilmanifolds to be continuous. The methods use only simple properties of heat kernels.
