Measures with real spectra.
We study ergodic properties of the class of Gaussian automorphisms whose ergodic self-joinings remain Gaussian. For such automorphisms we describe the structure of their factors and of their centralizer. We show that Gaussian automorphisms with simple spectrum belong to this class. We prove a new sufficient condition for non-disjointness of automorphisms giving rise to a better understanding of Furstenberg's problem relating disjointness to the lack of common factors. This...
Basic ergodic properties of the ELF class of automorphisms, i.e. of the class of ergodic automorphisms whose weak closure of measures supported on the graphs of iterates of T consists of ergodic self-joinings are investigated. Disjointness of the ELF class with: 2-fold simple automorphisms, interval exchange transformations given by a special type permutations and time-one maps of measurable flows is discussed. All ergodic Poisson suspension automorphisms as well as dynamical systems determined...
