We study the centraliser of locally compact group extensions of ergodic probability preserving transformations. New methods establishing ergodicity of group extensions are introduced, and new examples of squashable and non-coalescent group extensions are constructed.
In this paper, we will study the relative complexity of the unitary duals of countable groups. In particular, we will explain that if and are countable amenable non-type I groups, then the unitary duals of and are Borel isomorphic.
Giordano et al. (2010) showed that every minimal free -action of a Cantor space X is orbit equivalent to some ℤ-action. Trying to avoid the K-theory used there and modifying Forrest’s (2000) construction of a Bratteli diagram, we show how to define a (one-dimensional) continuous and injective map F on X∖one point such that for a residual subset of X the orbits of F are the same as the orbits of a given minimal free -action.
We give a necessary and sufficient condition for the solvability of a generalized cohomology equation, for an ergodic endomorphism of a probability measure space, in the space of measurable complex functions. This generalizes a result obtained in [7].
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.
We consider volume-preserving perturbations of the time-one map of the geodesic flow of a compact surface with negative curvature. We show that if the Liouville measure has Lebesgue disintegration along the center foliation then the perturbation is itself the time-one map of a smooth volume-preserving flow, and that otherwise the disintegration is necessarily atomic.
Conditions for the existence of measurable and integrable solutions of the cohomology equation on a measure space are deduced. They follow from the study of the ergodic structure corresponding to some families of bidimensional linear difference equations. Results valid for the non-measure-preserving case are also obtained
We construct continuous G-valued cocycles that are not cohomologous to any compact constant via a measurable transfer function, provided the underlying dynamical system is rigid and the range group G satisfies a certain general condition. For more general ergodic aperiodic systems, we also show that the set of continuous ergodic cocycles is residual in the class of all continuous cocycles provided the range group G is a compact connected Lie group. The first construction is based on the "closure...
Étant donnée une fonction régulière de moyenne nulle sur le tore de dimension , il est facile de voir que ses intégrales ergodiques au-dessus d’un flot de translation “générique”sont bornées. Il y a une dizaine d’années, A. Zorich a observé numériquement une croissance en puissance du temps de ces intégrales ergodiques au-dessus de flots d’hamiltoniens (non-exacts) “génériques”sur des surfaces de genre supérieur ou égal à , et Kontsevich et Zorich ont proposé une explication (conjecturelle) de...
D’après le théorème de Jones-Schmidt, une relation d’équivalence ergodique est fortement ergodique si et seulement si elle ne possède pas de quotient moyennable non trivial. Nous donnons dans cet article deux nouvelles caractérisations de l’ergodicité forte, en termes d’espaces métriques-mesurés. La première identifie ergodicité forte et concentration de la mesure (définie dans ce cadre dans [22]). La seconde caractérise l’existence de quotients moyennables non triviaux par la présence de « suites...
We prove a strengthened version of Dye's theorem on orbit equivalence, showing that if the transformation structures are represented as finite coordinate change equivalence relations of ergodic measured Bratteli diagrams, then there is a finitary orbit equivalence between these diagrams.
We establish existence and uniqueness of a canonical form for isometric extensions of an ergodic non-singular transformation T. This is applied to describe the structure of commutors of the isometric extensions. Moreover, for a compact group G, we construct a G-valued T-cocycle α which generates the ergodic skew product extension and admits a prescribed subgroup in the centralizer of .
We study a diophantine property for translation surfaces, defined in terms of saddle connections and inspired by classical Khinchin condition. We prove that the same dichotomy holds as in Khinchin theorem, then we deduce a sharp estimate on how fast the typical Teichmüller geodesic wanders towards infinity in the moduli space of translation surfaces. Finally we prove some stronger result in genus one.
