Abstract
Kaimanovich and Masur showed that a random walk on the mapping class group for an initial distribution whose support generates a nonelementary subgroup when projected into Teichmüller space converges almost surely to a point in the space of projective measured foliations on the surface. This defines a harmonic measure on . Here, we show that when the initial distribution has finite support, the corresponding harmonic measure is singular with respect to the natural Lebesgue measure class on .
