Even Kakutani Equivalence and the Loose Block Independence Property for Positive Entropy Z Actions
نویسنده
چکیده
In this paper we define the loose block independence property for positive entropy Zd actions and extend some of the classical results to higher dimensions. In particular, we prove that two loose block independent actions are even Kakutani equivalent if and only if they have the same entropy. We also prove that for d > 1 the ergodic, isometric extensions of the positive entropy loose block independent Zd actions are also loose block independent.

ALMOST BLOCK INDEPENDENCE AND BERNOULLICITY OF Zd-ACTIONS BY AUTOMORPHISMS OF COMPACT ABELIAN GROUPS
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 کاملEven Kakutani Equivalence via Α and Β Equivalence In
In this paper we discuss the relationship between two of the fundamental examples of restricted orbit equivalence: even Kakutani equivalence and α equivalence. Both equivalence relations arise in the context of representations of ergodic and measure preserving Rd actions. The first is related to the Ambrose-Kakutani Theorem [1]: every free, measure preserving and ergodic R action can be represe...
متن کاملKakutani Equivalence via ~ Α and ~ Β Equivalence In
We show that an even Kakutani equivalence class of Z2 actions is “spanned” by ~ α and ~ β equivalence classes where ~ α = {1+α1, 1+ α2}, ~ β = {1 + β1, 1 + β2} and {1, α −1 i , β −1 i } are rationally independent for i = 1, 2. Namely, given such vectors ~ α and ~ β and two evenly Kakutani equivalent Z2 actions S and T , we show that U is ~ α -equivalent to S and ~ β -equivalent to T . Date: Apr...
متن کاملA Bratteli Diagram for Commuting Homeomorphisms of the Cantor Set
This paper presents a construction of a sequence of Kakutani-Rohlin Towers and a corresponding simple Bratteli Diagram, B, for a general minimal aperiodic Z d action on a Cantor Set, X, with d 2. This is applied to the description of the orbit structure and to the calculation of the ordered group of coinvariants. For each minimal continuous Z d action on X there is a minimal continuous Z action...
متن کاملAlmost Block Independence for the Three Dot Z Dynamical System
We show that the measure preserving action of Z2 dual to the action defined by the commuting automorphisms ×x and ×y on the discrete group Z[x±1, y±1]/〈1 +x+ y〉Z[x±1, y±1] is measurably isomorphic to a Z2 Bernoulli shift. This was conjectured in recent work by Lind, Schmidt and the author, where it was shown that this action has completely positive entropy. An example is given of Z2 actions whi...
