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.

AbstractWe extend constructions of Hahn and Katznelson [On the entropy of uniquely ergodic transformations. Trans. Amer. Math. Soc.126 (1967), 335–360] and Pavlov [Some counterexamples in topological dynamics. Ergod. Th. & Dynam. Sys.28 (2008), 1291–1322] to ℤd-actions on symbolic dynamical spaces with prescribed topological and ergodic properties. More specifically, we describe a method to build ℤd-actions which are (totally) minimal, (totally) strictly ergodic and have positive topological entropy.

We present numerous examples of ways that a Bernoulli shift can behave relative to a family of factors. This shows the similarities between the properties which collections of ergodic transformations can have and the behavior of a Bernoulli shift relative to a collection of its factors. For example, we construct a family of factors of a Bernoulli shift which have the same entropy, and any extension of one of these factors has more entropy, yet no two of these factors sit the same. This is the relative analog of Ornstein and Shields uncountable collection of nonisomorphic $K$ transformations of the same entropy. We are able to construct relative analogs of almost all the zero entropy counter-examples constructed by Rudolph (1979), as well as the $K$ counterexamples constructed by Hoffman (1997). This paper provides a solution to a problem posed by Ornstein (1975).
