AbstractLetTbe an ergodic automorphism defined on a standard Borel probability space for whichTandT−1are isomorphic. We investigate the form of the conjugating automorphism. It is well known that ifTis ergodic having a discrete spectrum andSis the conjugation betweenTandT−1, i.e.SsatisfiesTS=ST−1thenS2=Ithe identity automorphism. We show that this result remains true under the weaker assumption thatThas a simple spectrum. IfThas the weak closure property and is isomorphic to its inverse, it is shown that the conjugationSsatisfiesS4=I. Finally, we construct an example to show that the conjugation need not be an involution in this case. The example we construct, in addition to having the weak closure property, is of rank two, rigid and simple for all orders with a singular spectrum of multiplicity equal to two.

AbstractIn this paper we show that there are “E0 many” orbit inequivalent free actions of the free groups , 2 ≤ n ≤ ∞ by measure preserving transformations on a standard Borel probability space. In particular, there are uncountably many such actions.

AbstractLet T be an ergodic automorphism with rational discrete spectrum and ϕ a ℤ2-cocyle for T. We show that the resulting two-point extension of T is cohomologous to a Morse cocycle if ϕ is approximated with speed o(1/n).On the other hand, we show by example that this is in general false when the speed of approximation is O(1/n).

In this paper, we show that the stationary solution u(t, ω) of the differentiable random dynamical system U: ℝ+ × L2[0, 1] × Ω → L2[0, 1] generated by the stochastic Burgers' equation with large viscosity, denoted by ν, driven by a Brownian motion in L2[0, 1], is given by: u(t, ω) = U(t, Y(ω), ω) = Y(θ(t, ω)), where Y(ω) can be represented by the following integral equation: [Formula: see text] Here θ is the group of P-preserving ergodic transformations on the canonical probability space [Formula: see text] such that θ(t, ω)(s) = W(t + s) - W(t), where W is the L2[0, 1]-valued Brownian motion on the probability space [Formula: see text], Tν is the linear operator semigroup on L2[0, 1] generated by νΔ.

Let $(X,\mathfrak{B},\unicode[STIX]{x1D707})$ be a Borel probability space. Let $T_{n}:X\rightarrow X$ be a sequence of continuous transformations on $X$. Let $\unicode[STIX]{x1D708}$ be a probability measure on $X$ such that $(1/N)\sum _{n=1}^{N}(T_{n})_{\ast }\unicode[STIX]{x1D708}\rightarrow \unicode[STIX]{x1D707}$ in the weak-$\ast$ topology. Under general conditions, we show that for $\unicode[STIX]{x1D708}$ almost every $x\in X$, the measures $(1/N)\sum _{n=1}^{N}\unicode[STIX]{x1D6FF}_{T_{n}x}$ become equidistributed towards $\unicode[STIX]{x1D707}$ if $N$ is restricted to a set of full upper density. We present applications of these results to translates of closed orbits of Lie groups on homogeneous spaces. As a corollary, we prove equidistribution of exponentially sparse orbits of the horocycle flow on quotients of $\text{SL}(2,\mathbb{R})$, starting from every point in almost every direction.

AbstractFollowing a similar result of Uspenskij on the unitary group of a separable Hilbert space, we show that, with respect to the lower (or Roelcke) uniform structure, the Polish group G = Aut(μ) of automorphisms of an atomless standard Borel probability space (X, μ) is precompact. We identify the corresponding compactification as the space of Markov operators on L2(μ) and deduce that the algebra of right and left uniformly continuous functions, the algebra of weakly almost periodic functions, and the algebra of Hilbert functions on G, i.e., functions on G arising from unitary representations, all coincide. Again following Uspenskij, we also conclude that G is totally minimal.

AbstractWe prove that for each ergodic automorphism T:(X, ℬ, μ)→(X, ℬ, μ) for which we can find an element S∈C(T) such that the corresponding Z2-action (S, T) on (X, ℬ, μ) is free, there exists a circle valued cocycle φ such that the group extension Tφ is ergodic but is not coalescent. In particular, the existence of such a cocycle is proved for all ergodic rigid automorphisms. As a corollary, in the class of ergodic transformations of [0,1) × [0,1) given byfor each irrational α we find φ such that Tφ is not coalescent. In some special cases the group law of the centralizer is given.

The stacking method (see [1] and [5, Section 6]) has been used with great success in ergodic theory to construct a wide variety of examples of ergodic transformations (see, for example, [1 ; 3 ; 4; 5; 7]). However very little is known in general about the class of transformations which can be constructed by the stacking method using single stacks. In particular there is no simple characterization of the class .
