Waiting for long excursions and close visits to neutral fixed points of null-recurrent ergodic maps

Roland Zweimüller (2008)

Fundamenta Mathematicae

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...

Weak almost periodicity of L 1 contractions and coboundaries of non-singular transformations

Isaac Kornfeld, Michael Lin (2000)

Studia Mathematica

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 L 1 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 L 1 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...

Weak Closure Theorem fails for ℤ²-actions

T. Downarowicz, J. Kwiatkowski (2002)

Studia Mathematica

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.

Weak mixing and eigenvalues for Arnoux-Rauzy sequences

Julien Cassaigne, Sébastien Ferenczi, Ali Messaoudi (2008)

Annales de l’institut Fourier

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.

Weak mixing of a transformation similar to Pascal

Daniel M. Kane (2007)

Colloquium Mathematicae

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.

Weakly mixing but not mixing quasi-Markovian processes

Zbigniew Kowalski (2000)

Studia Mathematica

Let (f,α) be the process given by an endomorphism f and by a finite partition α = A i i = 1 s 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 E ( f , α ) g : B i i = 1 s s u p p g = i = 1 s A i × B i . 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...

Weakly mixing rank-one transformations conjugate to their squares

Alexandre I. Danilenko (2008)

Studia Mathematica

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.

Weakly mixing transformations and the Carathéodory definition of measurable sets

Amos Koeller, Rodney Nillsen, Graham Williams (2007)

Colloquium Mathematicae

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...

When the intrinsic algebraic entropy is not really intrinsic

Brendan Goldsmith, Luigi Salce (2015)

Topological Algebra and its Applications

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...
