Let X be a compact complex manifold in the Fujiki class C . We study the compactification of Aut 0 (X) given by its closure in Barlet cycle space. The boundary points give rise to nondominant meromorphic self-maps of X. Moreover convergence in cycle space yields convergence of the corresponding meromorphic maps. There are analogous compactifications for reductive subgroups acting trivially on Alb X. If X is Kähler, these compactifications are projective. Finally we give applications to the action of Aut(X) on the set of probability measures on X. In particular we obtain an extension of Furstenberg lemma to manifolds in the class C .2010 Mathematics Subject Classification. Primary 32M05; Secondary 32M12.
