A finite-state stationary process is called (one- or two-sided) super-K if its (one- or two-sided) super-tail field-generated by keeping track of (initial or central) symbol counts as well as of arbitrarily remote names-is trivial. We prove that for every process (α,T) which has a direct Bernoulli factor there is a generating partition β whose one-sided super-tail equals the usual one-sided tail of β. Consequently, every K-process with a direct Bernoulli factor has a one-sided super-K generator....

It is known that there is a comeagre set of mutually conjugate measure preserving homeomorphisms of Cantor space equipped with the coinflipping probability measure, i.e., Haar measure. We show that the generic measure preserving homeomorphism is moreover conjugate to all of its powers. It follows that the generic measure preserving homeomorphism extends to an action of (ℚ, +) by measure preserving homeomorphisms, and, in fact, to an action of the locally compact ring 𝔄 of finite adèles. ...

In the sense of the Baire Category Theorem we show that the generic transformation T has roots of all orders (RAO theorem). The argument appears novel in that it proceeds by establishing that the set of such T is not meager - and then appeals to a Zero-One Law (Lemma 2). On the group Ω of (invertible measure-preserving) transformations, §D shows that the squaring map p: S → S^{2} is topologically complex in that both the locally-dense and locally-lacunary points of p are dense (Theorem 23). The...

The classical output theorem for the M/M/1 queue, due to Burke (1956), states that the departure process from a stationary M/M/1 queue, in equilibrium, has the same law as the arrivals process, that is, it is a Poisson process. We show that the associated measure-preserving transformation is metrically isomorphic to a two-sided Bernoulli shift. We also discuss some extensions of Burke's theorem where it remains an open problem to determine if, or under what conditions, the analogue of this result...

Let T be a power-bounded operator on a (real or complex) Banach space. We study the convergence of the one-sided ergodic Hilbert transform $li{m}_n{\sum }_{k=1}^n\left(T^{k}x\right)/k$. We prove that weak and strong convergence are equivalent, and in a reflexive space also $su{p}_n\left|\right|{\sum }_{k=1}^n\left(T^{k}x\right)/k\left|\right|<\infty$ is equivalent to the convergence. We also show that $-{\sum }_{k=1}^{\infty }\left(T^k\right)/k$ (which converges on (I-T)X) is precisely the infinitesimal generator of the semigroup ${(I-T)}_{|\overline{(I-T)X}}^r$.

For n ≥ 1, given an n-dimensional locally (n-1)-connected compact space X and a finite Borel measure μ without atoms at isolated points, we prove that for a generic (in the uniform metric) continuous map f:X → X, the set of points which are chain recurrent under f has μ-measure zero. The same is true for n = 0 (skipping the local connectedness assumption).

A technique is presented for multiplexing two ergodic measure preserving transformations together to derive a third limiting transformation. This technique is used to settle a question regarding rigidity sequences of weak mixing transformations. Namely, given any rigidity sequence for an ergodic measure preserving transformation, there exists a weak mixing transformation which is rigid along the same sequence. This establishes a wide range of rigidity sequences for weakly mixing dynamical systems....
