Combinatorial invariants of metric filtrations and automorphisms; the universal adic graph

We suggest a combinatorial classification of metric filtrations in measure spaces; a complete invariant of such a filtration is its combinatorial scheme, a measure on the space of hierarchies of the group~$\mathbb Z$. In turn, the notion of combinatorial scheme is a source of new metric invariants of automorphisms approximated via basic filtrations. We construct a universal graph endowed with an adic structure such that every automorphism can be realized in its path space.

Virtual Continuity of Measurable Functions and Its Applications

Classical theorem of Luzin states that a measurable function of one real variable is "almost" continuous. For measurable functions of several variables the analogous statement (continuity on the product of sets having almost full measure) does not hold in general. Searching for a right analogue of Luzin theorem leads to a notion of virtually continuous functions of several variables. This probably new notion implicitly appears in the statements of embedding theorems and trace theorems for Sobolev spaces. In fact it reveals the nature of such theorems as statements about virtual continuity. Our results imply that under conditions of Sobolev theorems there is a well-defined integration of a function over wide class of singular measures, including the measures concentrated on submanifolds. The notion of virtual continuity is used also for the classification of measurable functions of several variables and in some questions on dynamical systems, theory of polymorphisms and bistochastic measures. In this paper we recall necessary definitions and properties of admissible metrics, give several definitions of virtual continuity and discuss some applications. Revised version (without the proofs) is published in \cite{VZPFA}.

Geometry and Dynamics of Admissible Metrics in Measure Spaces

We study a wide class of metrics in a Lebesgue space with a standard measure, the class of so-called admissible metrics. We consider the cone of admissible metrics, introduce a special norm in it, prove compactness criteria, define the "-entropy of a measure space with an admissible metric, etc. These notions and related results are applied to the theory of transformations with invariant measure; namely, we study the asymptotic properties of orbits in the cone of admissible metrics with respect to a given transformation or a group of transformations. The main result of this paper is a new discreteness criterion for the spectrum of an ergodic transformation: we prove that the spectrum is discrete if and only if the "-entropy of the averages of some (and hence any) admissible metric over fragments of its trajectory is uniformly bounded.
