An example of type III${}_0$ cocycle without unbounded gaps of an ergodic probability measure preserving transformation will be shown.

The orbit equivalence of type $II{I}_0$ ergodic equivalence relations is considered. We show that it is equivalent to the outer conjugacy problem for the natural trace-scaling action of a countable dense ℝ-subgroup by automorphisms of the Radon-Nikodym skew product extensions of these relations. A similar result holds for the weak equivalence of arbitrary type $II{I}_0$ cocycles with values in Abelian groups.

Let E be an interval in the unit interval [0,1). For each x ∈ [0,1) define dₙ(x) ∈ 0,1 by $dₙ\left(x\right):={\sum }_{i=1}^n{1}_E\left(2^{i-1}x\right)\left(mod2\right)$, where t is the fractional part of t. Then x is called a normal number mod 2 with respect to E if $N^{-1}{\sum }_{n=1}^{N}dₙ\left(x\right)$ converges to 1/2. It is shown that for any interval E ≠(1/6, 5/6) a.e. x is a normal number mod 2 with respect to E. For E = (1/6, 5/6) it is proved that $N^{-1}{\sum }_{n=1}^{N}dₙ\left(x\right)$ converges a.e. and the limit equals 1/3 or 2/3 depending on x.
