Infinite ergodic index d -actions in infinite measure

E. Muehlegger, A. Raich, C. Silva, M. Touloumtzis, B. Narasimhan, W. Zhao (1999)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

We construct infinite measure preserving and nonsingular rank one d -actions. The first example is ergodic infinite measure preserving but with nonergodic, infinite conservative index, basis transformations; in this case we exhibit sets of increasing finite and infinite measure which are properly exhaustive and weakly wandering. The next examples are staircase rank one infinite measure preserving d -actions; for these we show that the individual basis transformations have conservative...

In Ehresmann's footsteps: from group geometries to groupoid geometries

Jean Pradines (2007)

Banach Center Publications

Similarity:

The geometric understanding of Cartan connections led Charles Ehresmann from the Erlangen program of (abstract) transformation groups to the enlarged program of Lie groupoid actions, via the basic concept of structural groupoid acting through the fibres of a (smooth) principal fibre bundle or of its associated bundles, and the basic examples stemming from the manifold of jets (fibred by its source or target projections). We show that the remarkable relation arising between the actions...

Rigidity results for Bernoulli actions and their von Neumann algebras

Stefaan Vaes (2005-2006)

Séminaire Bourbaki

Similarity:

Using very original methods from operator algebras, Sorin Popa has shown that the orbit structure of the Bernoulli action of a property (T) group, completely remembers the group and the action. This information is even essentially contained in the crossed product von Neumann algebra. This is the first von Neumann strong rigidity theorem in the literature. The same methods allow Popa to obtain II 1 factors with prescribed countable fundamental group.

On measure theoretical analogues of the Takesaki structure theorem for type III factors

Alexandre Danilenko, Toshihiro Hamachi (2000)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

The orbit equivalence of type I I 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 I I I 0 cocycles with values in Abelian groups.

An anti-classification theorem for ergodic measure preserving transformations

Matthew Foreman, Benjamin Weiss (2004)

Journal of the European Mathematical Society

Similarity:

Despite many notable advances the general problem of classifying ergodic measure preserving transformations (MPT) has remained wide open. We show that the action of the whole group of MPT’s on ergodic actions by conjugation is turbulent in the sense of G. Hjorth. The type of classifications ruled out by this property include countable algebraic objects such as those that occur in the Halmos–von Neumann theorem classifying ergodic MPT’s with pure point spectrum. We treat both the classical...
