AbstractSuppose G is a countable, Abelian group with an element of infinite order and let be amixing rank one action of G on a probability space. Suppose further that the Følner sequence {Fn} indexing the towers of satisfies a “bounded intersection property”: there is a constant p such that each {Fn} can intersect no more than p disjoint translates of {Fn}. Then is mixing of all orders. When G = Z, this extends the results of Kalikow and Ryzhikov to a large class of “funny” rank one transformations. We follow Ryzhikov’s joining technique in our proof: the main theorem follows from showing that any pairwise independent joining of k copies of is necessarily product measure. This method generalizes Ryzhikov’s technique.

Let $S(N)$ be a random walk on a countable abelian group $G$ which acts on a probability space $E$ by measure-preserving transformations $(T_v)_{v\in G}$. For any $\Lambda \subset E$ we consider the random return time $\tau$ at which $T_{S(\tau)}\in\Lambda$. We show that the corresponding induced skew product transformation is K-mixing whenever a natural subgroup of $G$ acts ergodically on $E$.

AbstractLet $G$ be a countable abelian group and let ${T}^{(1)} , {T}^{(2)} , \ldots , {T}^{(s)} $ be measure preserving $G$-actions on a probability space. We prove that joint ergodicity of ${T}^{(1)} , {T}^{(2)} , \ldots , {T}^{(s)} $ implies total joint ergodicity if each ${T}^{(i)} $ is totally ergodic. We also show that if $G= { \mathbb{Z} }^{d} $, $s\geq d+ 1$ and the actions ${T}^{(1)} , {T}^{(2)} , \ldots , {T}^{(s)} $ commute, then total joint ergodicity of ${T}^{(1)} , {T}^{(2)} , \ldots , {T}^{(s)} $ follows from joint ergodicity. This can be seen as a generalization of Berend’s result for commuting $ \mathbb{Z} $-actions.

AbstractGeneralized Riesz products similar to the type which arise as the spectral measure for a rank-one transformation are studied. A condition for the mutual singularity of two such measures is given. As an application, a probability space of transformations is presented in which almost all transformations are singular with respect to Lebesgue measure.

Abstract We show that for a large class of actions $\Gamma \curvearrowright \mathcal{A}$ of $C^*$-simple groups $\Gamma $ on unital $C^*$-algebras $\mathcal{A}$, including any non-faithful action of a hyperbolic group with trivial amenable radical, every intermediate $C^*$-subalgebra $\mathcal{B}$, $C_{\lambda }^*(\Gamma )\subseteq \mathcal{B} \subseteq \mathcal{A}\rtimes _{r}\Gamma $, is of the form $\mathcal{A}_1\rtimes _{r}\Gamma $, where $\mathcal{A}_1$ is a unital $\Gamma $-$C^*$-subalgebra of $\mathcal{A}$.

We introduce partially defined dynamical systems defined on a topological space. To each such system we associate a functor s from a category G to Topop and show that it defines what we call a skew category algebra A ⋊σ G. We study the connection between topological freeness of s and, on the one hand, ideal properties of A ⋊σ G and, on the other hand, maximal commutativity of A in A ⋊σ G. In particular, we show that if G is a groupoid and for each e ∈ ob (G) the group of all morphisms e → e is countable and the topological space s(e) is Tychonoff and Baire. Then the following assertions are equivalent: (i) s is topologically free; (ii) A has the ideal intersection property, i.e. if I is a nonzero ideal of A ⋊σ G, then I ∩ A ≠ {0}; (iii) the ring A is a maximal abelian complex subalgebra of A ⋊σ G. Thereby, we generalize a result by Svensson, Silvestrov and de Jeu from the additive group of integers to a large class of groupoids.

A subgroup H of a group G is said to be subnormal in G if there is a finite chain of subgroups, each normal in its successor, connecting H to G. If such chains exist there is one of minimal length; the number of strict inclusions in this chain is called the subnormal index, or defect, of H in G. The rather large class of groups which have an upper bound for the subnormal indices of their subnormal subgroups has been inverstigated to same extent, mainly with a restriction to solublegroups — for instance, in [10] McDougall considered soluble p-groups in this class. Robinson, in [14], restricted his attention to wreath products of nilpotent groups but extended his investigations to the strictly larger class of groups in which the intersection of any family of subnormal subgroups is a subnormal subgroup. These groups are said to have the subnormal intersection property.
