In this paper we construct an infinite family of knots with vanishing Upsilon invariant $Υ$, although their secondary Upsilon invariants $Υ^2$ show that they are linearly independent in the smooth knot concordance group. We also prove a conjecture in a paper by Allen.
We prove that for infinite rank-one transformations satisfying a property called "partial boundedness," the only commuting transformations are powers of the original transformation. This shows that a large class of infinite measure-preserving rank-one transformations with bounded cuts have trivial centralizers. We also characterize when partially bounded transformations are isomorphic to their inverse.
