Unsolved problems on joinings, multiple mixing, spectrum, and rank

The note is devoted to multiple mixing, spectrum, rank and self-joinings of measure-preserving transformations. We recall famous open problems, discuss related questions and some known results. A hypothetical example of an automorphism of the class $MSJ(2)\setminus MSJ(3)$ has Lebesgue spectrum, infinite rank and does not have multiple mixing. If its spectrum is simple, then we get a solution to the problems of Banach, Rokhlin and del Junco-Rudolph. The existence of such an example, of course, seems unlikely, but any facts confirming the impossibility of this amazing situation have not yet been discovered. They not found even under the condition that its local rank is positive, which ensures the finite spectral multiplicity.

Multiple mixing in ergodic theory

In 1949 V.A. Rokhlin introduced into ergodic theory the k-fold mixing and puzzled the mathematical community with the problem of the mismatch of these invariants. Here's what Rokhlin wrote: "The proposed work arose from the author's attempts to solve the well-known spectral problem of the theory of dynamical systems: are there any metrically different dynamical systems with the same continuous (in particular, Lebesgue) spectrum? Using new metric invariants introduced for this purpose, the author tried to find among the ergodic automorphisms of compact commutative groups automorphisms of various metric types. It turned out, however, that for all the indicated automorphisms the new invariants are exactly the same." We discuss this long time open problem.

Weakly closed semigroups generated by operator-valued functions

The function $P(T)=\sum_{i=0}^\infty c_i T^i$ is admissible if $c_i\geq 0$, $\sum_{i=0}^\infty c_i\leq 1$. For any given set of admissible functions $P_1,\dots, P_k$ there is a unitary operator $T$ of dynamic origin such that the weak closure of its powers is a semigroup generated by the operators $0$, $T$, $P_1(T),\dots, P_k(T)$, $T^\ast$, $P_1(T^\ast ),\dots, P_k(T^\ast)$.

Slow decay of correlations for generic mixing automorphisms

Let $ψ(n)\to +0$ and a square-integrable function $f$ be non-zero, then for the typical mixing automorphism $T$ the set $\{n:\, |(T^nf,f) |>ψ( n)\}$ is infinite. The mildly mixing automorphisms $T$ do not have convergences of non-zero averages $\frac 1 {k_n} \sum_{i=1}^{k_n}T^if (x)$ with the rate of $o\left(\frac 1 {k_n}\right)$.

Polynomial rigidity and spectrum of Sidon automorphisms

We present spectrally disjoint Sidon automorphisms whose tensor squares are isomorphic to a planar shift. Spectra of such automorphisms do not possess the group property. To check the singularity of spectrum, we use polynomial rigidity of operators associated with Kolmogorov linear determinism. In the class of mixing Gaussian and Poisson suspensions we realize new sets of spectral multiplicities.

Poisson suspensions without roots

We construct rigid Poisson suspensions without roots. The discrete rational component in spectrum of an ergodic automorphism S prevents some roots from existing. If S is tensorly multiplied by an ergodic automorphism of the space with a sigma-finite measure, discrete spectrum disappears in this product, but like the smile of Cheshire Cat, the memory of it can remain in the form of the absence of roots. In additional conditions, this effect is inherited by the Poisson suspension over the above product. Starting from this idea, but without using the tensor product, we describe simple rank-one constructions for which the Poisson suspensions are rigid and have no roots.

Rigid Poisson suspensions without roots

Examples of rigid Poisson suspensions without roots are presented. The discrete rational component in spectrum of an ergodic automorphism S prevents some roots from existing. If S is tensorly multiplied by an ergodic automorphism of the space with a sigma-finite measure, discrete spectrum disappears in this product, but the memory of it can remain in the form of the absence of roots. In additional conditions, this effect is inherited by the Poisson suspension over the product.

Quasi-similarity, entropy and disjointness of ergodic systems

Answering Vershik's question we show that quasi-similarity does not conserve the entropy, proving quasi-similarity of all Bernoulli actions of a countable infinite group. We prove also the following generalization of Pinsker's theorem: the actions with zero Kirillov-Kushnirenko $P$-entropy and the actions with completely positive $P$-entropy are disjoint. Poisson suspensions are used as examples.

Generic extensions of ergodic actions

The article considers generic extensions of measure-preserving actions. We prove that the P-entropy of the generic extensions with finite P-entropy is infinite. This is exploited to obtain the result by Austin, Glasner, Thouvenot, and Weiss that the generic extension of an deterministic action is not isomorphic to it. We show also that generic cocycles are recurrent; as well as typical extensions preserve the singularity of the spectrum, partial rigidity, mildly mixing, and mixing. At the same time, the lifting of some algebraic properties under the generic extension may depend on the statistical properties of the base. The typical measurable families of automorphisms are considered as well. The dynamic behavior of such families is a bit unusual. It is characterized by a combination of the dynamic conformism with the dynamic individualism of the representatives of the generic family.

Self-joinings and generic extensions of ergodic systems

We show that typical extensions of ergodic systems inherit the triviality of pairwise independent self-joinings. This property (introduced by A. del Junco and D. Rudolph) is related with Rokhlin's famous multiple mixing problem and several questions from joining theory.

Slow convergences of ergodic averages

Birkhoff's theorem states that for an ergodic automorphism, the time averages converge to the space average. Given sequence $ψ(n)\to+0$, U. Krengel proved that for any ergodic automorphism there is an indicator such that the corresponding time averages converged a.e. with a rate slower than $ψ$. We prove again similar statements answering a question of I. Podvigin in passing.

Tensor-simple spectrum of unitary flows

Unitary flows $T_t$ of dynamic origin are proposed such that for every countable subset $Q\subset (0,+\infty)$ the tensor product $\bigotimes_{q\in Q} T_q $ has simple spectrum. This property is generic for flows preserving the sigma-finite measure.
