On disjointness properties of some smooth flows

Krzysztof Frączek, Mariusz Lemańczyk (2005)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

Special flows over some locally rigid automorphisms and under L² ceiling functions satisfying a local L² Denjoy-Koksma type inequality are considered. Such flows are proved to be disjoint (in the sense of Furstenberg) from mixing flows and (under some stronger assumption) from weakly mixing flows for which the weak closure of the set of all instances consists of indecomposable Markov operators. As applications we prove that ∙ special flows built over ergodic interval...

On weakly mixing and doubly ergodic nonsingular actions

Sarah Iams, Brian Katz, Cesar E. Silva, Brian Street, Kirsten Wickelgren (2005)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

We study weak mixing and double ergodicity for nonsingular actions of locally compact Polish abelian groups. We show that if T is a nonsingular action of G, then T is weakly mixing if and only if for all cocompact subgroups A of G the action of T restricted to A is weakly mixing. We show that a doubly ergodic nonsingular action is weakly mixing and construct an infinite measure-preserving flow that is weakly mixing but not doubly ergodic. We also construct an infinite measure-preserving...

A property of ergodic flows

Maria Joiţa, Radu-B. Munteanu (2014)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

We introduce a property of ergodic flows, called Property B. We prove that an ergodic hyperfinite equivalence relation of type III₀ whose associated flow has this property is not of product type. A consequence is that a properly ergodic flow with Property B is not approximately transitive. We use Property B to construct a non-AT flow which-up to conjugacy-is built under a function with the dyadic odometer as base automorphism.

On new spectral multiplicities for ergodic maps

Alexandre I. Danilenko (2010)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

It is shown that each subset of positive integers that contains 2 is realizable as the set of essential values of the multiplicity function for the Koopman operator of some weakly mixing transformation.

Bergelson's theorem for weakly mixing C*-dynamical systems

Rocco Duvenhage (2009)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

We study a nonconventional ergodic average for asymptotically abelian weakly mixing C*-dynamical systems, related to a second iteration of Khinchin's recurrence theorem obtained by Bergelson in the measure-theoretic case. A noncommutative recurrence theorem for such systems is obtained as a corollary.

Conjugacies between ergodic transformations and their inverses

Geoffrey Goodson (2000)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

We study certain symmetries that arise when automorphisms S and T defined on a Lebesgue probability space (X, ℱ, μ) satisfy the equation S T = T - 1 S . In an earlier paper [6] it was shown that this puts certain constraints on the spectrum of T. Here we show that it also forces constraints on the spectrum of S 2 . In particular, S 2 has to have a multiplicity function which only takes even values on the orthogonal complement of the subspace f ∈ L 2 ( X , ℱ , μ ) : f ( T 2 x ) = f ( x ) . For S and T ergodic satisfying this equation further constraints...

The return sequence of the Bowen-Series map for punctured surfaces

Manuel Stadlbauer (2004)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

Similarity:

For a non-compact hyperbolic surface M of finite area, we study a certain Poincaré section for the geodesic flow. The canonical, non-invertible factor of the first return map to this section is shown to be pointwise dual ergodic with return sequence (aₙ) given by aₙ = π/(4(Area(M) + 2π)) · n/(log n). We use this result to deduce that the section map itself is rationally ergodic, and that the geodesic flow associated to M is ergodic with respect to the...

Ratner's property for special flows over irrational rotations under functions of bounded variation. II

Adam Kanigowski (2014)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

We consider special flows over the rotation on the circle by an irrational α under roof functions of bounded variation. The roof functions, in the Lebesgue decomposition, are assumed to have a continuous singular part coming from a quasi-similar Cantor set (including the devil's staircase case). Moreover, a finite number of discontinuities is allowed. Assuming that α has bounded partial quotients, we prove that all such flows are weakly mixing and enjoy the weak Ratner property. Moreover,...

On local aspects of topological weak mixing in dimension one and beyond

Piotr Oprocha, Guohua Zhang (2011)

Studia Mathematica

Similarity:

We introduce the concept of weakly mixing sets of order n and show that, in contrast to weak mixing of maps, a weakly mixing set of order n does not have to be weakly mixing of order n + 1. Strictly speaking, we construct a minimal invertible dynamical system which contains a non-trivial weakly mixing set of order 2, whereas it does not contain any non-trivial weakly mixing set of order 3. In dimension one this difference is not that much visible, since we prove that...

Weakly mixing transformations and the Carathéodory definition of measurable sets

Amos Koeller, Rodney Nillsen, Graham Williams (2007)

Colloquium Mathematicae

Similarity:

Let 𝕋 denote the set of complex numbers of modulus 1. Let v ∈ 𝕋, v not a root of unity, and let T: 𝕋 → 𝕋 be the transformation on 𝕋 given by T(z) = vz. It is known that the problem of calculating the outer measure of a T-invariant set leads to a condition which formally has a close resemblance to Carathéodory's definition of a measurable set. In ergodic theory terms, T is not weakly mixing. Now there is an example, due to Kakutani, of a transformation ψ̃ which is weakly mixing but...
