We study ergodicity of cylinder flows of the form    T f : T × ℝ → T × ℝ , T f ( x , y ) = ( x + α , y + f ( x ) ) , where f : T → ℝ is a measurable cocycle with zero integral. We show a new class of smooth ergodic cocycles. Let k be a natural number and let f be a function such that D k f is piecewise absolutely continuous (but not continuous) with zero sum of jumps. We show that if the points of discontinuity of D k f have some good properties, then T f is ergodic. Moreover, there exists ε f > 0 such that if v : T → ℝ is a function with zero integral such that D k v is of bounded variation with V a r ( D k v ) < ε f , then T f + v is ergodic.

We show a new class of smooth ergodic cocycles. Let k be a natural number and let f be a function such that $D^kf$ is piecewise absolutely continuous (but not continuous) with zero sum of jumps. We show that if the points of discontinuity of $D^kf$ have some good properties, then $T_f$ is ergodic. Moreover, there exists $ε_f > 0$ such that if $v:{T}→ℝ$ is a function with zero integral such that $D^kv$ is of bounded variation with $Var(D^kv) < ε_f$, then $T_{f+v}$ is ergodic.
