Abstract
Let G be a closed connected semisimple subgroup of SL(n,ℝ), and B=G/P where P is a parabolic subgroup of G. We define and characterize the type of a certain probability measure on B. The particular case where G=SL(n,ℝ) furnishes a characterization of various generalizations of the Cauchy distribution.
