S ep 2 00 3 ISOMORPHISM RIGIDITY IN ENTROPY RANK TWO MANFRED
نویسنده
چکیده
We study the rigidity properties of a class of algebraic Z-actions with entropy rank two. For this class, conditions are found which force an invariant measure to be the Haar measure on an affine subset. This is applied to show isomorphism rigidity for such actions, and to provide examples of non-isomorphic Z-actions with all their Z-sub-actions isomorphic. The proofs use lexicographic half-space entropies and total ergodicity along critical directions.

Rigidity of the measurable structure for algebraic actions of higher-rank Abelian groups
We investigate rigidity of measurable structure for higher rank abelian algebraic actions. In particular, we show that ergodic measures for these actions fiber over a 0 entropy measure with Haar measures along the leaves. We deduce various rigidity theorems for isomorphisms and joinings as corollaries.
متن کاملOn Measures Invariant under Diagonalizable Actions – the Rank One Case and the General Low Entropy Method
We consider measures on locally homogeneous spaces Γ\G which are invariant and have positive entropy with respect to the action of a single diagonalizable element a ∈ G by translations, and prove a rigidity statement regarding a certain type of measurable factors of this action. This rigidity theorem, which is a generalized and more conceptual form of the low entropy method of [Lin2, EKL] is us...
متن کاملRigidity of Measures – the High Entropy Case, and Non-commuting Foliations
We consider invariant measures for partially hyperbolic, semisimple, higher rank actions on homogeneous spaces defined by products of real and p-adic Lie groups. In this paper we generalize our earlier work to establish measure rigidity in the high entropy case in that setting. We avoid any additional ergodicity-type assumptions but rely on, and extend the theory of conditional measures.
متن کاملIsomorphism Rigidity of Commuting Automorphisms
Let d > 1, and let (X,α) and (Y, β) be two zeroentropy Z-actions on compact abelian groups by d commuting automorphisms. We show that if all lower rank subactions of α and β have completely positive entropy, then any measurable equivariant map from X to Y is an affine map. In particular, two such actions are measurably conjugate if and only if they are algebraically conjugate.
متن کاملF eb 2 00 3 FINITE ENTROPY CHARACTERIZES TOPOLOGICAL RIGIDITY ON CONNECTED GROUPS
Let X 1 , X 2 be mixing connected algebraic dynamical systems with the Descending Chain Condition. We show that every equivariant continuous map X 1 → X 2 is affine (that is, X 2 is topologically rigid) if and only if the system X 2 has finite topolog-ical entropy.
