AbstractWe introduce a functor which associates to every measure-preserving system (X,ℬ,μ,T) a topological system $(C_2(\mu ),\tilde {T})$ defined on the space of twofold couplings of μ, called the topological lens of T. We show that often the topological lens ‘magnifies’ the basic measure dynamical properties of T in terms of the corresponding topological properties of $\tilde {T}$. Some of our main results are as follows: (i) T is weakly mixing if and only if $\tilde {T}$ is topologically transitive (if and only if it is topologically weakly mixing); (ii) T has zero entropy if and only if $\tilde {T}$ has zero topological entropy, and T has positive entropy if and only if $\tilde {T}$ has infinite topological entropy; (iii) for T a K-system, the topological lens is a P-system (i.e. it is topologically transitive and the set of periodic points is dense; such systems are also called chaotic in the sense of Devaney).

abstractNecessary and sufficient analytical conditions are given for homogeneous multiple Wiener-Itô integral processes (MWIs) to be mixing, and sufficient conditions are given for mixing of general square-integrable Gaussian-subordinated processes. It is shown that every finite or infinite sum Y of MWIs (i.e. every real square-integrable stationary polynomial form in the variables of an underlying weakly mixing Gaussian process) is mixing if the process defined separately by each homogeneous-order term is mixing, and that this condition is necessary for a large class of Gaussian-subordinated processes. Moreover, for homogeneous MWIs Y1, for sums of MWIs of order ≤ 3, and for a large class of square-integrable infinite sums Y1, of MWIs, mixing holds if and only if Y2 has correlation-function decaying to zero for large lags. Several examples of the criteria for mixing are given, including a second-order homogeneous MWI, i.e. a degree two polynomial form, orthogonal to all linear forms, which has auto-correlations tending to zero for large lags but is not mixing.

We generalize the notion of weakly mixing unitary representations to locally compact quantum groups, introducing suitable extensions of all standard characterizations of weak mixing to this setting. These results are used to complement the non-commutative Jacobs–de Leeuw–Glicksberg splitting theorem of Runde and the author [Ergodic theory for quantum semigroups. J. Lond. Math. Soc. (2) 89(3) (2014), 941–959]. Furthermore, a relation between mixing and weak mixing of state-preserving actions of discrete quantum groups and the properties of certain inclusions of von Neumann algebras, which is known for discrete groups, is demonstrated.

AbstractWe consider special flows over the rotation by an irrational$\alpha $under the roof functions of bounded variation without continuous, singular part in the Lebesgue decomposition and sum of jumps not equal to zero. We show that all such flows are weakly mixing. Under the additional assumption that$\alpha $has bounded partial quotients, we study the weak Ratner property. We establish this property whenever an additional condition (stable under sufficiently small perturbations) on the set of jumps is satisfied. While it is a classical result that the flows under consideration are not mixing, one more condition on the set of jumps turns out to be sufficient to obtain the absence of partial rigidity, hence mild mixing of such flows.

AbstractKrengel characterized weakly mixing actions (X,T) as those measure-preserving actions having a dense set of partitions of X with infinitely many jointly independent images under iterates of T. Using the tools developed in later papers—one by del Junco, Reinhold and Weiss, another by del Junco and Begun—we prove analogues of these results for weakly mixing random dynamical systems (in other words, relatively weakly mixing systems).
