We determine, for certain ergodic infinite measure preserving transformations T, the asymptotic behaviour of the distribution of the waiting time for an excursion (from some fixed reference set of finite measure) of length larger than l as l → ∞, generalizing a renewal-theoretic result of Lamperti. This abstract distributional limit theorem applies to certain weakly expanding interval maps, where it clarifies the distributional behaviour of hitting times of shrinking neighbourhoods of neutral fixed...
It is well known that a weakly almost periodic operator T in a Banach space is mean ergodic, and in the complex case, also λT is mean ergodic for every |λ|=1. We prove that a positive contraction on is weakly almost periodic if (and only if) it is mean ergodic. An example shows that without positivity the result is false. In order to construct a contraction T on a complex such that λT is mean ergodic whenever |λ|=1, but T is not weakly almost periodic, we prove the following: Let τ be an invertible...
We construct an example of a Morse ℤ²-action which has rank one and whose centralizer contains elements which cannot be weakly approximated by the transformations of the action.
We define by simple conditions two wide subclasses of the so-called Arnoux-Rauzy systems; the elements of the first one share the property of (measure-theoretic) weak mixing, thus we generalize and improve a counter-example to the conjecture that these systems are codings of rotations; those of the second one have eigenvalues, which was known hitherto only for a very small set of examples.
We construct a class of transformations similar to the Pascal transformation, except for the use of spacers, and show that these transformations are weakly mixing.
Let (f,α) be the process given by an endomorphism f and by a finite partition of a Lebesgue space. Let E(f,α) be the class of densities of absolutely continuous invariant measures for skew products with the base (f,α). We say that (f,α) is quasi-Markovian if . We show that there exists a quasi-Markovian process which is weakly mixing but not mixing. As a by-product we deduce that the set of all coboundaries which are measurable with respect to the ’chequer-wise’ partition for σ × S, where σ is...
Utilizing the cut-and-stack techniques we construct explicitly a weakly mixing rigid rank-one transformation T which is conjugate to T². Moreover, it is proved that for each odd q, there is such a T commuting with a transformation of order q. For any n, we show the existence of a weakly mixing T conjugate to T² and whose rank is finite and greater than n.
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 not strongly...
The intrinsic algebraic entropy ent(ɸ) of an endomorphism ɸ of an Abelian group G can be computed using fully inert subgroups of ɸ-invariant sections of G, instead of the whole family of ɸ-inert subgroups. For a class of groups containing the groups of finite rank, aswell as those groupswhich are trajectories of finitely generated subgroups, it is proved that only fully inert subgroups of the group itself are needed to comput ent(ɸ). Examples show how the situation may be quite different outside...
