Minimal and distal functions on semidirect products of groups II.
We examine multiple disjointness of minimal flows, that is, we find conditions under which the product of a collection of minimal flows is itself minimal. Our main theorem states that, for a collection of minimal flows with a common phase group, assuming each flow satisfies certain structural and algebraic conditions, the product is minimal if and only if is minimal, where is the maximal equicontinuous factor of . Most importantly, this result holds when each is distal. When the phase...
