AbstractLet $G$ be a countable abelian group and let ${T}^{(1)} , {T}^{(2)} , \ldots , {T}^{(s)} $ be measure preserving $G$-actions on a probability space. We prove that joint ergodicity of ${T}^{(1)} , {T}^{(2)} , \ldots , {T}^{(s)} $ implies total joint ergodicity if each ${T}^{(i)} $ is totally ergodic. We also show that if $G= { \mathbb{Z} }^{d} $, $s\geq d+ 1$ and the actions ${T}^{(1)} , {T}^{(2)} , \ldots , {T}^{(s)} $ commute, then total joint ergodicity of ${T}^{(1)} , {T}^{(2)} , \ldots , {T}^{(s)} $ follows from joint ergodicity. This can be seen as a generalization of Berend’s result for commuting $ \mathbb{Z} $-actions.

Let $S(N)$ be a random walk on a countable abelian group $G$ which acts on a probability space $E$ by measure-preserving transformations $(T_v)_{v\in G}$. For any $\Lambda \subset E$ we consider the random return time $\tau$ at which $T_{S(\tau)}\in\Lambda$. We show that the corresponding induced skew product transformation is K-mixing whenever a natural subgroup of $G$ acts ergodically on $E$.

AbstractSuppose G is a countable, Abelian group with an element of infinite order and let be amixing rank one action of G on a probability space. Suppose further that the Følner sequence {Fn} indexing the towers of satisfies a “bounded intersection property”: there is a constant p such that each {Fn} can intersect no more than p disjoint translates of {Fn}. Then is mixing of all orders. When G = Z, this extends the results of Kalikow and Ryzhikov to a large class of “funny” rank one transformations. We follow Ryzhikov’s joining technique in our proof: the main theorem follows from showing that any pairwise independent joining of k copies of is necessarily product measure. This method generalizes Ryzhikov’s technique.

Let S be a semigroup contained in a locally compact Abelian group G. Let Ĝ denote the Bohr compactification of G. We say that a sequence contained in S is Hartman uniform distributed on G iffor any character χ in Ĝ. Suppose that (Tg)g∈s is a semigroup of measurable measure preserving transformations of a probability space (X, β, μ) and B is an element of the σ-algebra β of positive μ measure. For a map T: X → X and a set A ⊆ X let T−1A denote {x ∈ X: Tx ∈ A}. In an earlier paper, the author showed that if k is Hartman uniform distributed thenIn this paper we show that ≥ cannot be replaced by =. A more detailed discussion of this situation ensues.

AbstractWe establish in this paper a new form of Plünnecke-type inequalities for ergodic probability measure-preserving actions of any countable abelian group. Using a correspondence principle for product sets, this allows us to deduce lower bounds on the upper and lower Banach densities of any product set in terms of the upper Banach density of an iterated product set of one of its addends. These bounds are new already in the case of the integers.We also introduce the notion of an ergodic basis, which is parallel, but significantly weaker than the analogous notion of an additive basis, and deduce Plünnecke bounds on their impact functions with respect to both the upper and lower Banach densities on any countable abelian group.

AbstractWe consider a unitary representation of a discrete countable abelian group on a separable Hilbert space which is associated to a cyclic generalized frame multiresolution analysis. We extend Robertson’s theorem to apply to frames generated by the action of the group. Within this setup we use Stone’s theorem and the theory of projection valued measures to analyze wandering frame collections. This yields a functional analytic method of constructing a wavelet from a generalized frame multiresolution analysis in terms of the frame scaling vectors. We then explicitly apply our results to the action of the integers given by translations on L2(ℝ).

AbstractWe study the pure infiniteness of C* -crossed products by endomorphisms and automorphisms. Let A be a purely infinité simple unital C*-algebra. At first we show that a crossed product A × p N by a corner endomorphism p is purely infinite if it is simple. From this observation we prove that any simple C*-crossed products A ×αZ by an automorphism α is purely infinite. Combining this with the result in [Je] on pure infiniteness of crossed products by finite groups, one sees that if α is an outer action by a countable abelian group G then the simple C*-algebra A ×α G is purely infinite.

AbstractWe construct a Baum-Douglas type model for K-homology with coefficients in ℤ/kℤ. The basic geometric object in a cycle is a spinc ℤ/kℤ-manifold. The relationship between these cycles and the topological side of the Freed-Melrose index theorem is discussed in detail. Finally, using inductive limits, we construct geometric models for K-homology with coefficients in any countable abelian group.
