Bernoulli property of smooth extensions of Bernoulli shifts

Weak isomorphisms between Bernoulli shifts

In this note, we prove that if G is a countable group that contains a nonabelian free subgroup then every pair of nontrivial Bernoulli shifts over G are weakly isomorphic.

Brooks’ theorem for Bernoulli shifts

If Γ is an infinite group with finite symmetric generating set S, we consider the graph G(Γ, S) on [0, 1]Γ by relating two distinct points if an element of s sends one to the other via the shift action. We show that, aside from the cases Γ = Z and Γ = (Z/2Z) ∗ (Z/2Z), G(Γ, S) satisfies a measure-theoretic version of Brooks’ theorem: there is a G(Γ, S)-invariant conull Borel set B ⊆ [0, 1]Γ and ...

Spectral property of the Bernoulli convolutions ✩

For 0 < ρ < 1, let μρ be the Bernoulli convolution associated with ρ. Jorgensen and Pedersen [P. Jorgensen, S. Pedersen, Dense analytic subspaces in fractal L2-spaces, J. Anal. Math. 75 (1998) 185–228] proved that if ρ = 1/q where q is an even integer, then L(μρ) has an exponential orthonormal basis. We show that for any 0 < ρ < 1, L(μρ) contains an infinite orthonormal set of exponential funct...

Z Group Shifts and Bernoulli Factors

In this paper, a group shift is an expansive action of Zd on a compact metrizable zero dimensional group by continuous automorphisms. All group shifts factor topologically onto equal-entropy Bernoulli shifts; abelian group shifts factor by continuous group homomorphisms onto canonical equalentropy Bernoulli group shifts; and completely positive entropy abelian group shifts are weakly algebraica...
