Now that we are coming towards the end of the useful life of the building known as the "RVH corridor" it is time to consider some of the inner workings of our own profession.

Towers, Conjugacy and Coding

We consider three theorems in ergodic theory concerning a fixed aperiodic measure preserving transformation σ of a Lebesgue probability space (X,A, μ) and show that these theorems are all equivalent. Two of these results concern the existence of a partition of the space X with special properties. The third theorem asserts that the conjugates of σ are dense in the uniform topology on the space o...
