The Bernoulli Property for Expansive Z Actions on Compact Groups

چکیده
We show that an expansive Z2 action on a compact abelian group is measurably isomorphic to a two–dimensional Bernoulli shift if and only if it has completely positive entropy. The proof uses the algebraic structure of such actions described by Kitchens and Schmidt and an algebraic characterisation of the K property due to Lind, Schmidt and the author. As a corollary, we note that an expansive Z2 action on a compact abelian group is measurably isomorphic to a Bernoulli shift relative to the Pinsker algebra. A further corollary applies an argument of Lind to show that an expansive K action of Z2 on a compact abelian group is exponentially recurrent. Finally an example is given of measurable isomorphism without topological conjugacy for Z2 actions. §

An irreducible algebraic Z d-action on a compact abelian group X is a Z d-action by automorphisms of X such that every closed,-invariant subgroup Y (X is nite. We prove the following result: if d 2, then every measurable conjugacy between irreducible and mixing algebraic Z d-actions on compact zero-dimensional abelian groups is aane. For irreducible, expansive and mixing algebraic Z d-actions o...

In this paper we consider Z-actions, d ≥ 1, by automorphisms of compact connected abelian groups which contain at least one expansive automorphism (such actions are called algebraic Z-actions of expansive rank one). If α is such a Z-action on an infinite compact connected abelian group X, then every expansive element α of this action has a dense group ∆αn(X) of homoclinic points. For different ...

We prove that a Z d-action by automorphisms of a compact, abelian group is Bernoulli if and only if it has completely positive entropy. The key ingredients of the proof are the extension of certain notions of asymptotic block independence from Z-actionsto Z d-action and their equivalence with Bernoullicity, and a surprisingly close link between one of these asymptotic block independence propert...
متن کاملOn the Cohomology of Algebraic Z-actions with Values in Compact Lie Groups
Let d ≥ 2, and let α be an expansive and mixing Z-action by automorphisms of a compact, abelian group X. We prove the following: if the entropy h(αn) is finite for every n ∈ Z, then there exist nontrivial Hölder 1-cocycles for α with values in certain compact Lie groups, even though α need not have any nontrivial Hölder cocycles with values in abelian groups. On the other hand, if α has complet...

We prove that if a countable discrete group Γ contains an infinite normal subgroup with the relative property (T) (e.g. Γ = SL(2,Z) ⋉Z, or Γ = H × H with H an infinite Kazhdan group and H arbitrary) and V is a closed subgroup of the group of unitaries of a finite von Neumann algebra (e.g. V countable discrete, or separable compact), then any V-valued measurable cocycle for a Bernoulli Γ-action ...
