Smooth Extensions of Bernoulli Shifts

Zbigniew S. Kowalski (2005)

Bulletin of the Polish Academy of Sciences. Mathematics

For homographic extensions of the one-sided Bernoulli shift we construct σ-finite invariant and ergodic product measures. We apply the above to the description of invariant product probability measures for smooth extensions of one-sided Bernoulli shifts.

Solvability of the functional equation f = (T-I)h for vector-valued functions

Ryotaro Sato (2004)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Let X be a reflexive Banach space and (Ω,,μ) be a probability measure space. Let T: M(μ;X) → M(μ;X) be a linear operator, where M(μ;X) is the space of all X-valued strongly measurable functions on (Ω,,μ). We assume that T is continuous in the sense that if (fₙ) is a sequence in M(μ;X) and l i m n f = f in measure for some f ∈ M(μ;X), then also l i m n T f = T f in measure. Then we consider the functional equation f = (T-I)h, where f ∈ M(μ;X) is given. We obtain several conditions for the existence of h ∈ M(μ;X) satisfying...

Some thoughts about Segal's ergodic theorem

Daniel W. Stroock (2010)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Over fifty years ago, Irving Segal proved a theorem which leads to a characterization of those orthogonal transformations on a Hilbert space which induce ergodic transformations. Because Segal did not present his result in a way which made it readily accessible to specialists in ergodic theory, it was difficult for them to appreciate what he had done. The purpose of this note is to state and prove Segal's result in a way which, I hope, will win it the recognition which it deserves.

Spectral properties of ergodic dynamical systems conjugate to their composition squares

Geoffrey R. Goodson (2007)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Let S and T be automorphisms of a standard Borel probability space. Some ergodic and spectral consequences of the equation ST = T²S are given for T ergodic and also when Tⁿ = I for some n>2. These ideas are used to construct examples of ergodic automorphisms S with oscillating maximal spectral multiplicity function. Other examples illustrating the theory are given, including Gaussian automorphisms having simple spectra and conjugate to their squares.
